"A fundamental work for historians of Christianity." —Religious Studies Review"This is not a volume on the general tenor of lay spirituality during specific centuries of medieval church life. It is basically a volume on particular and individual manifestations of intense holiness by specific lay Christians. The 'case histories' are both valuable and delightful reading." —Theological Studies"The translation is on the whole elegant, capturing Vauchez's own luminous prose with considerable grace. The result is a text which makes the work of this major scholar accessible to beginning student and more seasoned researcher alike. The Laity in the Middle Ages is an invaluable witness to the work of a scholar who has done so much to awaken us to the complexities of the religious experience of the laity in the Middle Ages." —Catholic Historical Review"Vauchez arguably is the leading scholar of medieval spirituality. This is an extremely important collection and we are fortunate that it is now available to an English-reading public." —Speculum
