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.
