Mary Magdalene And The Drama Of Saints : Theater, Gender, And Religion In Late Medieval England

Attribution
Theresa Coletti
Publication Details
Book, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2004
Description
Looking to East Anglian texts including the N-Town Plays, The Book of Margery Kempe, The Revelations of Julian of Norwich, and Bokenham’s Legend of Holy Women, Theresa Coletti explores how the gendered symbol of Mary Magdalene mediates tensions between masculine and feminine spiritual power, institutional and individual modes of religious expression, and authorized and unauthorized forms of revelation and sacred speech. In bringing the disciplinary perspectives of literary history and criticism, gender studies, and social and religious history to bear on specific local instances of dramatic practice, Mary Magdalene and the Drama of Saints highlights the relevance of Middle English dramatic discourse to the dynamic religious climate of late medieval England.

Sacred Biography : Saints And Their Biographers In The Middle Ages

Attribution
Thomas J. Heffernan
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 1988
Description
Though medieval “saints’ lives” are among the oldest literary texts of Western vernacular culture, they are routinely patronized as “pious fiction” by modern historiography. In the process, Heffernan not only achieves a more contextually accurate understanding of the medieval saints’ lives, but details a new critical method that has important implications for the practice of textual criticism.
