《Apologia Pro Vita Sua 》

Sharing conventions but differing thematically and technically,together the LIFEOF ST CATHERINE and the LIFE OF ST LAWRENCE provide an insight into the varied relationships between exemplary figures and their audiences in the Anglo-Norman world.The LIFE OF ST CATHERINE is a tale of a woman saint by a woman;the LIFE OFST LAWRENCE the martyrdom of a male saint commissioned by a woman.Rich in sexualand social iconographies that resonate today,the saints'lives,with their dual focus on heaven and earth,are frequently shocking but powerful accounts of the relationship between body and soul in medieval society. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
