Description

This scholarly work examines 10th-century Old English hagiographical translations by the abbot and grammarian Aelfric, drawing from Latin source material. The book analyses the vitae of Agnes, Agatha, Lucy, Eugenia, Daria, Basilissa, and Cecilia as presented in Aelfric's Old English Lives of Saints, exploring how these narratives recount the lives, persecution, and martyrdom of young women who renounced sex and marriage to devote themselves to Christian service. The work investigates the primacy of virginity and the role of the body in achieving spiritual sanctity within these foundational Old English religious texts. Published by Routledge, this volume contributes to literary theory and criticism by examining medieval hagiography and its treatment of the female body within the context of early Christian devotion and Old English literary tradition.
