This is the first book to focus on Latin epic verse saints' lives
in their medieval historical contexts. Anna Taylor examines how
these works promoted bonds of friendship and expressed rivalries
among writers, monasteries, saints, earthly patrons, teachers and
students in Western Europe in the central Middle Ages. Using
philological, codicological and microhistorical approaches,
Professor Taylor reveals new insights that will reshape our
understanding of monasticism, patronage and education. These texts
give historians an unprecedented glimpse inside the early medieval
classroom, provide a nuanced view of the complicated synthesis of
the Christian and Classical heritages, and show the cultural
importance and varied functions of poetic composition in the ninth,
tenth and eleventh centuries.
