But what roles did saintly biographies play in shaping the medieval West? Can we understand society and its many post-Roman transformations through them? This short book takes readers from the creation of medieval hagiography, through the ways in which it circulated, to a wide-ranging assessment of different modern methodologies used to interrogate hagiographies, from early twentieth-century source criticism, to the insights gained from gender studies, postmodernism and digital humanities. 410 0$aPast imperfect (ARC Humanities Press) 606 $aChristian hagiography$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCivilization, Medieval, in literature 606 $aHagiographers$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 615 0$aChristian hagiography$xHistory 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval, in literature. 615 0$aHagiographers$xHistory 676 $a235/.2 686 $aBO 1820$2rvk 700 $aPalmer$b James T$g(James Trevor),$066662 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480058503321 996 $aEarly medieval hagiography$92460300 997 $aUNINA
