Mary-Ann Stouck is a retired Associate Professor of Humanities at Simon Fraser University. She is the editor of Medieval Saints: A Reader (University of Toronto Press, 1999) and the author of a variety of essays and studies on saints' lives and Middle English literature.

A Short Reader of Medieval Saints is a useful primer for any course dealing with medieval theology or history. Moreover, it could also serve as a starting point for examining the significance of hagiography and fable that surround the lives of saints. Students will find it informative, accessible, and even occasionally entertaining, if not shocking; while instructors and professors will value the way it covers a larger swath of material without sacrificing too much in its size. Without reservation, Stouck's newest offering is worth a hearty look. - Koinonia
