"Her Life Historical offers a major reconsideration of one of the most popular narrative forms in late medieval England - the lives of female saints - and one of the period's primary modes of interpretation - exemplarity. With lucidity and insight, Catherine Sanok shows that saints' legends served as vehicles for complex considerations of historical difference and continuity in an era of political crisis and social change. At the same time, they played a significant role in women's increasing visibility in late medieval literary culture by imagining a specifically feminine audience."--Jacket.
