Although studies of gender in medieval culture have tended to focus on femininity, the study of medieval masculinities has developed greatly over the last few years. This book concentrates on this aspect of medieval gender studies, and looks at the ways in which varieties of medieval masculinity intersected with concepts of holiness.

"This, the fourth volume in this handsomely produced series by the University of Wales Press ... is a pioneering collection of interdisciplinary essays... shedding new light on familiar topics." Gwales. 'This collection goes some of the way to addressing this dearth of scholarship, and encourages new thinking on attitudes to the past and sainthood ... this is a well edited and coherent production'. Church Times
