This work presents the two Old English versions of the colourful
legend of the virgin martyr, St Margaret of Antioch, who became one
of the most widely celebrated of the medieval saints and the patron
saint of childbirth. For the first time the two extant vernacular
lives are published together, edited with a facing translation and
commentary and introduced by extensive coverage of background
sources, the state of the manuscripts, their language and the
growth of the cult of St Margaret in Anglo-Saxon England. In
addition, there are printed fragments of a third version of the
life, and a Latin text from an Anglo-Saxon manuscript. The approach
allows the reader to trace the early reception history of the texts
and the way they developed over time, showing their significance as
products of late Anglo-Saxon culture.
