Industry Reviews
--Padraig O Riain, Aberystwyth University"
Focusing on one of the most widespread and intriguing of saints cults, this collection of essays brings together a range of languages and disciplines to explore the complex implications of Ursula s story and the light it sheds on attitudes towards gender and violence in medieval culture.
--Dafydd Johnston, University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies"
This is an important collection of essays that advances our understanding of this very significant cult, which was at once international and the subject of peculiar interest in medieval England and Wales. Jane Cartwright has brought together some very distinguished contributors who between them cover a great geographical range, from Iceland to Hungary. The book should be of interest to anyone concerned with medieval saints cults and legends, with images of female sanctity and with cultural and religious links between medieval Britain and the Continent.
