Sacred Biography: Saints and Their Biographers in the Middle Ages Tapa blanda - 1992
de Thomas J. Heffernan
Though the medieval "saints' lives" are among the oldest literary texts of Western vernacular culture, they are routinely considered as pious fiction by many. Heffernan demonstrates that to characterize the genre as fiction is to misunderstand the intentions of medieval authors as he explores sacred biographies in relation to the community for which they were written.
Descripción de contraportada
This excellent book attempts to bridge the gulf separating medieval from modern sensibility with regard to issues of authority and judgment in biographical writing...Logical, thorough, and well-documented...It is now, and will be for some time to come, the most substantive study of the subject, providing a fair assessment of the work of earlier pioneers, establishing a far-ranging and comprehensive bibliography, and offering new, fresh insights on the writing, context, and reception of 'sacred biographies.'
