The Politics of Reading. 520 1 "Stories of the torture and execution of beautiful Christian women first appeared in late antiquity and proliferated during the early Middle Ages, and virgin martyrs were still the most popular female saints in the late medieval period. Their legends, in countless retellings through the centuries, preserved a standard plot - the heroine resists a pagan suitor, endures cruelties inflicted by her rejected lover or outraged family, works miracles, and dies for Christ. That sequence was embellished by incidents emblematic of the specific saint: Juliana's battle with the devil, Barbara's immurement in the tower, Katherine's encounter with spiked wheels." "Karen A. Winstead examines this seemingly static story form and discovers subtle shifts in the representation of the virgin martyrs, as their legends were adapted for changing audiences in late medieval England. The saints' portrayals participated in and were shaped by the cultural debates and contests for authority that marked an era of political instability, rapid social change, and increasing religious dissent."--Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 To 1500|2fast 648 7 1066-1485|2fast 650 0 Christian women saints|vBiography|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009119560|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001187 650 0 Christian women martyrs|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh97003886|xBiography|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2003003651 650 0 Virginity|xReligious aspects|xChristianity|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010117954|xHistory of doctrines|yMiddle Ages, 600-1500.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005860 650 0 Christian hagiography|xHistory|yTo 1500.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008100655 650 0 Christian legends|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85075787|zEngland.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n82068148-781 650 7 Christian women saints|xBiography.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1424887 650 7 Christian women martyrs|xBiography.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1424886 650 7 Christian women martyrs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/859582 650 7 Christian hagiography.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /859164 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Christian legends.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1727967 650 7 Church history.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/860740 650 7 Virginity.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/ homoit0001493 651 0 England|xChurch history|y1066-1485.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85043265 651 0 England|xReligious life and customs.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008114940 651 4 England|xChurch history|y1066-1485. 651 4 England|xReligious life and customs. 651 7 England.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1219920 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Church history.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1411629 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aWinstead, Karen A.
