Signs of Devotion: The Cult of St. Æthelthryth in Medieval England, 695–1615
Virginia Blanton
This is the first longitudinal study of an Anglo-Saxon cult from its inception in the late seventh century through the Reformation. It examines the production and reception of texts that supported the cult of Æthelthryth, an East Anglian princess who had resisted the conjugal demands of two political marriages to maintain her virginity.
