This book 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 medieval saints and the patron
saint of childbirth. 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.
