Annotated bibliography covering two centuries of scholarly
criticism on the extensive corpus of medieval saints' legends. with
the assistance of Margaret RogersonSaints' legends are being
increasingly recognised as one of the most important genres of the
middle ages, and attract much critical attention. This volume
surveys the scholarly literatureof the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries on the extensive Middle English corpus. It also provides
a conspectus of the genre's history in the Middle English period,
and its place in the development of the modern discipline of Middle
English, while both the introduction and the annotations give
attention to the problematic boundaries between genres and to the
issues involved in separating out texts from their manuscript
contexts. General studies of the corpus as a whole are covered, as
well as discussions and editions of individual legends, of the
various extended cycles of legends, and of sermon collections that
include hagiographic legends and exempla; the volume has been
structured so as to provide an overview of the research on major
works [for example the South English Legendary and St Erkenwald],
and authors such as Osbern Bokenham, John Capgrave, William Caxton
and John Mirk. It includesan Index of Scholars and Critics keyed to
the Bibliography, an Index of Middle English Texts that covers all
works, of whatever genre, mentioned in the annotations, and an
Index of Manuscripts that gathers the references to the over 170
manuscripts cited.
