Description

This scholarly work examines how the legend of Radegund of Poitiers has been reshaped across centuries, from medieval religious texts to modern historical interpretation. Published by Amsterdam University Press and Routledge, the book explores the tension between hagiographic tradition and historical reality, demonstrating how successive generations rewrote Radegund's story to serve their own cultural and political needs. Part of the Hagiography Beyond Tradition series, it offers critical analysis of how religious figures become national symbols and how myth-making intersects with French identity construction. The study traces the evolution of Radegund's portrayal through different historical periods, revealing how medieval reverence transformed into modern nationalist reinterpretation. Ideal for historians, religious scholars, and anyone interested in how history is constructed and recontextualised across time.
