Recentring illness : A revised chronology of Francis' life. 520 "Illness and Authority examines the lived experience and early stories about St. Francis of Assisi through the lens of disability studies. This new approach re-centres Francis's illnesses and infirmities and highlights how they became barriers to wielding traditional modes of masculine authority within both the Franciscan Order he founded and the church hierarchy. So concerned were members of the Franciscan leadership that the future saint was compelled to seek out medical treatment and spent the last two years of his life in the nearly constant care of doctors. Unlike other studies of Francis's ailments, Illness and Authority focuses on the impact of his illnesses on his autonomy and secular power, rather than his spiritual authority. From downplaying the comfort Francis received from music to disappearing doctors in the narratives of his life, early biographers worked to minimize the realities of his infirmities. When they could not do so, they turned the saint's experiences into teachable moments that demonstrated his saintly and steadfast devotion and his trust in God. Illness and Authority explores the struggles that early authors of Francis's vitae experienced as they tried to make sense of a saint whose life did not fit the traditional rhythms of a founder-saint."--|cProvided by publisher. 545 0 Donna Trembinski is an associate professor of Medieval History at St. Francis Xavier University. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 00 Francis,|cof Assisi, Saint,|d1182-1226|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/names/n78095603|xHealth.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00006004 600 07 Francis,|cof Assisi, Saint,|d1182-1226.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/29126 650 0 Christian saints|zItaly|zAssisi|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008100707 650 7 Health.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/952743 650 7 Christian saints.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 859491 651 7 Italy|zAssisi.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1206046 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 776 08 |iPrint version:|aTrembinski, Donna, 1974-|tIllness and authority.|dToronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2020|z1487507410|w(OCoLC)1146555422 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2667055|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
