Paper Back. Condition: New. As Jo Ann McNamara points out in the introduction, 'It is rare for any age to preserve so large a group of sources dedicated to women's achievements and rarer still for a period so impoverished in sources of any kind.' Yet difficulties remain when it comes to the validity of early French hagiography. Hagiographers from following generations were accused of forging the stories to authenticate their own authority or highlighting similarities between the saints' lives and pagan legend. Fortunately, the Belgian Jesuit Hippolyte Delehaye validated the historical claims of many of these saints by applying sound archaeological and documentary scholarship to the texts. Originally written in Latin by contemporaries (several of whom knew the saints personally), these biographies portray the lives of eighteen Frankish women from the sixth and seventh centuries and represent a model of sanctity unique to that time. Three were queens. Several came from deeply political families. A few were part of the Irish missions to the pagan countryside, and others devoted their lives to the poor. While hagiography, as a literary style, hardly lends itself to originality, the light generated by these women is singular and compelling. Included (with medieval spellings intact) are Genovefa, Clothild, Moegund, Radegund, Eustadiola, Caesaria II, Rusticula, Glodesind, Burgundofara, Sadalberga, Rictrude, Gerturde, Aldegund, Balthild, Bertilla, Anstrude, and Austreberta.

Paperback. Condition: New. Sainted Women of the Dark Ages makes available the lives of eighteen Frankish women of the sixth and seventh centuries, all of whom became saints. Written in Latin by contemporaries or near contemporaries, and most translated here for the first time, these biographies cover the period from the fall of the Roman Empire and the conversion of the invading Franks to the rise of Charlemagne's family.Three of these holy women were queens who turned to religion only after a period of intense worldly activity. Others were members of the Carolingian family, deeply implicated in the political ambitions of their male relatives. Some were partners in the great Irish missions to the pagan countryside and others worked for the physical salvation of the poor. From the peril and suffering of their lives they shaped themselves as paragons of power and achievement. Beloved by their sisters and communities for their spiritual gifts, they ultimately brought forth a new model of sanctity.These biographies are unusually authentic. At least two were written by women who knew their subjects, while others reflect the direct testimony of sisters within the cloister walls. Each biography is accompanied by an introduction and notes that clarify its historical context. This volume will be an excellent source for students and scholars of women's studies and early medieval social, religious, and political history.
