Aelfric and the Cult of Saints in Late Anglo-Saxon England - Cambridge Studies in Anglo-Saxon England
Gretsch, Mechthild (Georg-August-Universitat, Gottingen, Germany)
The cult of saints was one of the most important aspects of life in the Middle Ages, and it often formed the nucleus of developing group identities in a town, a province or a country. This book examines five of Ælfric's saints' Lives in their contemporary political and intellectual setting.
