Fruit of the Orchard sheds light on how Catherine of Siena served
as a visible and widespread representative of English piety
becoming a part of the devotional landscape of the period. By
analyzing a variety of texts, including monastic and lay, complete
and excerpted, shared and private, author Jennifer N. Brown
considers how the visionary prophet and author was used to
demonstrate orthodoxy, subversion, and heresy. Tracing the book
tradition of Catherine of Siena, as well as investigating the
circulation of manuscripts, Brown explores how the various
perceptions of the Italian saint were reshaped and understood by an
English readership. By examining the practice of devotional
reading, she reveals how this sacred exercise changed through a
period of increased literacy, the rise of the printing press, and
religious turmoil.
