Description: The cult of St Edmund was one of the most important in medieval England, and further afield, as the pieces here show.
Brief description: A. S. G. Edwards is Honorary Professor of Medieval Manuscripts at the University of Kent at Canterbury.
Review Quotes: The consistently high standard of the articles found here make this book a mandatory addition to the shelves of readers interested in St Edmund. However, its broad chronological and geographical range, together with its generous scope of enquiry, means that it deserves a wider readership. Anyone looking for thought-provoking approaches to the study of changing attitudes toward medieval cults, and how these attitudes were materially reflected, should also be encouraged to take a look.-- "ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW"
