The Old English life of Saint Mary of Egypt : an edition of the Old English text with modern English parallel-text translation

"The story of Mary has been unduly neglected by students of Old English, but in today's literary-critical context, its gripping and intense narrative raises exciting issues in the study of medieval literature and culture. The text is presented here in an uncluttered manner, with on-page apparatus and facing modern English translation, followed by a concise commentary and a full glossary. A text of the Latin source used by the Old English writer, with facing translation, is also given. The Introduction discusses the origin and transmission of the legend and the distinctive features of the Old English version, paying attention to cultural and political dimensions."--Jacket.
