Comments:
“The texts are well-chosen, sensitively modernized, and either translated or appropriately glossed, making the volume useful both for research and teaching. Boyarin’s strategic inclusion of Biblical passages, extra poems, prayers, and illustrations very helpfully put the miracle stories ‘In Context.’ A reliable resource [offering] fascinating material!” — Laura Saetveit Miles, University of Bergen
“[A] well-chosen selection of tales along with Gospel readings, prayers, devotional poems, and manuscript illuminations to help place the telling of the Middle English tales in context. The annotations provide liturgical and scriptural references and definitions of more obscure words, but for the most part the interpretation is left to the reader. Who was this great Lady, ‘Quene of Comforthe and Moder of Merci,’ to whom medieval English Christians offered their service? As the tales retold here almost mischievously suggest, not even her servants seem to have known for sure.” — Rachel Fulton Brown, University of Chicago

"Reading through the selections Williams Boyarin has chosen from the vast array of Middle English Marian literature is like going on a tour with a very experienced guide--one who knows what will surprise and delight the most, and what information must be provided to help the visitor make the most of what they are seeing. As a reader familiar with Marian devotion and its literature, I found the texts included to be engaging and telling examples of the rich tradition and range of roles Mary fills ... For students or other newcomers to the field, this book can serve as an enticing and efficient introduction to study of the English Marian cult over time and across genres ... I can easily imagine using this collection as a textbook in an undergraduate or graduate course on medieval spirituality or Middle English literature ... [T]here is no doubt that this collection will spark new interest in a very rich area of medieval religious literature and experience." -- Wendy Larson, The Medieval Review
