In exploring these trends in fifteenth-century hagiography, identifying the factors that contributed to their emergence, and tracing their influence in later periods, Fifteenth-Century Lives marks an important contribution to revisionary scholarship on fifteenth-century literature. It will appeal to students and scholars of late medieval English literature and late medieval religion.
Reviews / Votes
"Winstead demonstrates true mastery of late medieval English hagiography.... [H]er literary analysis and historicism is impressive and convincing-one finishes the book with a greater understanding of late medieval English hagiography as a hidden historical resource." -Fides et Historia"Winstead provides fruitful insight into the connections between English pre- and post-Reformation thought. She successfully argues that fifteenth-century reformers were just as concerned as their sixteenth-century Protestant successors about the importance of education to create and maintain theologically orthodox Christians." -Journal of British Studies
"This is a significant contribution to our understanding of the development of literary treatments of saints' lives, and I found that the final chapters, which looked at the ways that later authors continued and changed the emphases of the chosen texts, provided some unexpected insights." -The Medieval Review
"Fifteenth-Century Lives is one of the most original studies of later medieval sanctity I have encountered. Karen Winstead analyzes ways in which fifteenth-century hagiographical texts, often considered staid, dull, and conservative, are instead highly innovative." -Nancy Bradley Warren, author of Chaucer and Religious Controversies in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras
