Though based on authentic hagiography, Maréchal's "new" legendary introduces a skeptical, rationalist perspective that anticipates modern critical approaches. Along with Delany's thorough introduction and notes, Anti-Saints offers a new perspective on the cultural climate of the French Revolution and a strikingly modern contribution to our own public conversation on religion. A must for scholars and non-specialists alike, and lovers of audacious wit.Christian women saintsBiographyDictionariesEarly works to 1800Christian women saintsAnecdotesEarly works to 1800Christian women saintsHumorEarly works to 1800Religious satire, FrenchEarly works to 1800Feminism.French Revolution.Hagiography.Christian women saintsDictionariesChristian women saintsAnecdotesChristian women saintsHumorReligious satire, French282.0922Maréchal Sylvain1750-1803,489369Delany SheilaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820824303321Anti-saints4005105UNINA
