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.
