Saints & society: Christendom 1000-1700

---

This work takes into account that the study of Medieval hagiography (stories and veneration of saints) helps us get a glimpse of social trends and values in medieval Europe. This book examines a variety of saints' legends in order to draw conclusions about the tellers' culture. Quite interesting. It has definitely awakened my interest in hagiography, which I now think should be as closely wedded to general medieval studies as the sacred was to daily life in the Middle Ages..
