Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends of the Saxon Saints Many years ago a friend remarked to me on the strangeness of the circumstance that the greatest event in the history of a nation, its conversion to Christianity, largely as it is often recorded in national legends, has never been selected as a theme for poetry. That event may indeed not supply the materials necessary for an Epic or a Drama, yet it can hardly fail to abound in details significant and pathetic, which especially invite poetic illustration. With the primary interest of that great crisis, many others, philosophical, social, and political, generally connect themselves. Antecedent to a nation's conversion, the events of centuries have commonly either conduced to it, or thrown obstacles in its way; while the history as well as the character of that nation in the.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives and Legends of English Saints In presenting to the public this treatise on the "Lives and Legends of English Saints," which is intended to form a prelude to further volumes on the holy men and women belonging to the other parts of the United Kingdom, I should like to say a few words, first as to its title and arrangement, and lastly as to its subject. I am well aware that there are many persons who will accept the life of a Saint with comparative readiness, but who will exclaim in horror at the credulity of those who can accept a legend or a miracle. And yet their attitude, in my humble opinion at least, appears somewhat irrational. I naturally do not wish to imply that every - I might almost say any - legend is to be accepted without reserve, but I would affirm that almost every legend contains some germ at least of truth, in that it indicates - though often in an allegorical form some characteristic of the Saint in question, or, more rarely, a poetical exposition of some familiar truth of Holy Scripture.

Download or read book Anglo-Saxon Saints Lives as History Writing in Late Medieval England written by Cynthia Turner Camp and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2015 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking assessment of the use medieval English history-writers made of saints' lives. The past was ever present in later medieval England, as secular and religious institutions worked to recover (or create) originary narratives that could guarantee, they hoped, their political and spiritual legitimacy. Anglo-SaxonEngland, in particular, was imagined as a spiritual "golden age" and a rich source of precedent, for kings and for the monasteries that housed early English saints' remains. This book examines the vernacular hagiography produced in a monastic context, demonstrating how writers, illuminators, and policy-makers used English saints (including St Edmund) to re-envision the bonds between ancient spiritual purity and contemporary conditions. Treating history and ethical practice as inseparable, poets such as Osbern Bokenham, Henry Bradshaw, and John Lydgate reconfigured England's history through its saints, engaging with contemporary concerns about institutional identity, authority, and ethics. Cynthia Turner Camp is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Georgia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Specimens of Anglo-Saxon Poetry, Vol. 2: Early Christian Lore and Legend The-selections contained in the following pages include the small number of pieces of anglo-saxon poetry directly bearing upon the life, death, and ascension of Christ, to gether with the more interesting portions of the poems which recount the legends of the early saints Andrew, Juliana, and Helena, and of the later Guthlac. The prose versions of the 'legend of St. Andrew' and the 'invention of the Cross', printed in the corresponding 'specimens of anglo-saxon Prose II', will enable the reader to identify the place which each extract occupies in the complete poems. There is no prose version of the legend oi-juliana, and that of Guthlac gives but slight aid in the study of the two poems relating to his life and death. The Runic passages at the end of the 'fates of the Apostles', 'juliana', and 'elene', in which the name of Cynewulf is recoi'ded, _ are not given here, as they have no bearing on the matter of these pieces, but will be included in a laternumber of this series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Berin, the Apostle of Wessex: The History, Legends, and Traditions of the Beginning of the West-Saxon Church Winchester took away whatever importance may have been acquired by the first West Saxon See-town. Then there remained no great church at Dorchester to treasure its annals; and when Bishop Daniel of Winchester was supplying Venerable Bede with notes of West Saxon history, there was little that he could discover about the beginnings of his own bishopric. Necessarily, too, among the foremost founders of our Church, all other figures are overshadowed by that of St. Augustine, who first brought Christianity to the English. Indeed the names of the early Northumbrian bishops, Paulinus and Aidan, Chad and Wilfrid, are better known than that of Berin, partly because of the dignity to which the See of York afterwards attained, and partly because Northumbria became the first great seat of English learning, and thus its records became ample. Even at Winchester the fame of St. Berin, who lived far away upon the Thames, was eclipsed in the eyes of churchmen of the next ages by the memory of their own bishop, St. Swithun; and while they revered their founder and honoured his bones, they looked to their local saint with still deeper reverence and gave him the more splendid enshrinement.
