By analyzing a variety of texts, including monastic and lay, complete and excerpted, shared and private, author Jennifer N. Brown considers how the visionary prophet and author was used to demonstrate orthodoxy, subversion, and heresy. Tracing the book tradition of Catherine of Siena, as well as investigating the circulation of manuscripts, Brown explores how the various perceptions of the Italian saint were reshaped and understood by an English readership. By examining the practice of devotional reading, she reveals how this sacred exercise changed through a period of increased literacy, the rise of the printing press, and religious turmoil."--$cProvided by publisher 606 $aDevotional literature, English (Middle)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTransmission of texts$zEngland$xHistory 607 $aItaly$2fast 607 $aEngland$2fast 607 $aAngleterre$xVie religieuse 607 $aEngland$xReligious life and customs 610 $aCatherine of Siena. 610 $abook. 610 $aconvent. 610 $aculture. 610 $adevotional. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aliterature. 610 $awomen's reading. 615 0$aDevotional literature, English (Middle)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTransmission of texts$xHistory. 676 $a282.092 700 $aBrown$b Jennifer N. , $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01480153 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793262703321 996 $aFruit of the Orchard$93696650 997 $aUNINA
