### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A wonderful book about a fairly obscure subject
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 7, 2000*

Professor Cazelles' commentary and translations of these hagiographic romances bring to life a part of literary history ignored, for the most part, until quite recently.  Her 70+ page commentary at the beginning of the book helps introduce the topic of sanctity to her readers, and the various motifs of female sanctity in the 13th century are examined with reference to various hagiographic tales within and without the text.  Comparison is drawn with male sanctity throughout the work, and I feel that I not only learned about "The Lady As Saint" from the book, but also got a fairly firm grounding in "the man as saint."Cazelles also compares the saintly lady to the lady as portrayed in Courtly romance.  This comparrison brings to light some surprising trends and similairities, and is explored in fascinating depth in the work.Cazelles translations are excellent.  When more than one extant poem exists commemorating a saint's life, Cazelles provides a verse translation of the copy thought to be most widely known during the period, and she provides prose translations of each of the other forms of the poem.  Her translations are vivid and lively, and make these violent, exciting lives even more enjoyable to read.  If one is interested in studying the Middle Ages, this book is a must read.  It is well researched, well written, and illuminates an important aspect of Medieval culture.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Women's studies and medieval saints intersect
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 18, 2018*

Fascinating essays at the beginning, and easy to read translations. Great for saint research & women's studies.
