Description

The first of two panels exploring the rewriting of hagiographic literature as revision of communal memory, emendation of saint and sanctity, or renegotiation of supernatural patronage. The authors in this panel will discuss issues surrounding recasting contentious and contested pasts in twelfth-century saint’s Lives. (Justin Haar)
