The South English Legendary is the major collection of saints'
lives in medieval English. A medieval 'bestseller', with 50 or so
manuscripts and manuscript fragments and nearly 300 separate items
in circulation in various combinations and books from the late
thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries, the Legendary has become
increasingly well known in recent years through modern editions of
individual texts and study of particular manuscripts. Meanwhile
greatly increased interest in saints' lives, in literary and
historical scholarship and the cultural and post-disciplinary turn
in literary studies provide a wealth of new approaches through
which to view the South English Legendary. The present volume
creates a fresh platform for thinking about this richly dynamic
work: it draws on the new hagiographic scholarship, attends to
textual, socio-cultural, political and other issues, reprints a
handful of earlier key articles now difficult to obtain, and
includes a special section on performance. It will be of interest
to all scholars of medieval literature: academics, teachers,
graduate students, undergraduates. -- .
