Middle English Legends of Women Saints presents a collection of
saints' Lives intended to suggest the diversity of possibilities
beneath the supposedly fixed and predictable surfaces of the
legends, using multiple retellings of the same legend to illustrate
that medieval readers and listeners did not just passively receive
saints' legends but continually and actively appropriated them. The
collection opens with legends about two royal (or supposedly royal)
women, Frideswide and Mary Magdelen, and continues with those of
three popular virgin martyrs, Margaret of Antioch, Christina of
Tyre, and Katherine of Alexandria. The final portion of the
collection is devoted to St. Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary. The
collection includes a number of relatively unknown texts that have
not appeared in print since Horstmann's transcriptions in the
nineteenth century and a few that have never before been published.
