Title :
Carriers of the Truth: Writing the Biographies of Anglo-Saxon Female Saints [The author explores "vitae" of Anglo-Saxon women saints in which aspects of their actual lives were incorporated. Yorke argues that these elements were important for hagiographical purposes. Texts included in the study concern Edith, her mother Wulfthryth and cousin Wulfhild, Leoba, Mildrith, and Aethelthryth of Ely. Title note supplied by Feminae.]
