Editorial Reviews
Review
Mary Clayton, University College Dublin. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 65, No. 3 (July 2014), pp. 660-661.
”There is much here […] to interest scholars of all stripes […] this volume will surely prove a valuable teaching resource, and the case it makes for introducing Wace’s hagiographical works to a broader audience is a highly persuasive one”.
Huw Grange, University of Cambridge. In:
”This is a very welcome edition and translation of Wace’s lesser-known works: The Conception Nostre Dame and the Lives of St Margaret and St Nicholas are excellent sources for folklorists and other scholars of medieval religious narrative and popular religion.”
David Elton Gay, Indiana University Bloomington. In:
