Title:
Lete Me Suffre: Reading the Torture of St. Margaret of Antioch in Late Medieval England [The author argues that the torture was not intended to be pornographic or oppressive to women readers/ listeners, but rather Margaret allows the torture in order to convert people, her self-sacrifice and suffering give her power to aid the faithful].
