Late antique and early medieval hagiographic texts present holy women as simultaneously pious and corrupt, hideous and beautiful, exemplars of depravity and models of sanctity. In Sacred Fictions Lynda Coon unpacks these paradoxical representations to reveal the construction and circumscription of women's roles in the early Christian centuries. Coon discerns three distinct paradigms for female sanctity in saints' lives and patristic and monastic writings. Women are recurrently figured as repentant desert hermits, wealthy widows, or cloistered ascetic nuns, and biblical discourse informs the narrative content, rhetorical strategies, and symbolic meanings of these texts in complex and multivalent ways. If hagiographers made their women saints walk on water, resurrect the dead, or consecrate the Eucharist, they also curbed the power of women by teaching that the daughters of Eve must make their bodies impenetrable through militant chastity or spiritual exile and must eradicate self-indulgence through ascetic attire or philanthropy. The windows the sacred fiction of holy women open on the past are far from transparent; driven by both literary invention and moral imperative, the stories they tell helped shape Western gender constructs that have survived into modern times.

The Durham Liber Vitae began in the mid-9th century as a list of several thousand names of people associated with a Northumbrian church, probably Lindisfarne, but possibly Monkwearmouth/Jarrow. From ca. 1100, it was used to record the names of all Durham monks, as well as of many lay people. Family groups also appear, especially the families of the last monks before Henry VIII dissolved the cathedral monastery in 1539.

The author argues that this series of portraits, never before studied as a corpus, creates a visual genealogy equivalent to the textual genealogies and regnal lists that are so much a feature of late Anglo-Saxon culture. As such they are an important part of the way in which the kings and queens of early medieval England created both their history and their kingdom."--BOOK JACKET.

Heroic poetry has appeared in various nations at periods widely separated in time, but distinctive features peculiar to the genre are always apparent. In this book the author studies the heroic poetry and traditions of two groups -- the Teutonic and Hellenic peoples -- in order to determine the nature and causes of these resemblances. He suggests that a comparative study of heroic poetry involves a comparative study of the ages to which the poems owe their origins. In his view, these ages are the result of the meeting of two civilizations, the lower having been semi-educated by the higher, and the distinctive characteristic is an outburst of individualism whose motive force is an all-consuming desire for fame.
