The Katherine Group (MS Bodley 34) by Elizabeth Robertson

The Katherine Group brings together for the first time newly edited and translated versions of three dynamic saints' lives, The Lives of Saints Katherine, Margaret and Juliana, a quirky but rhetorically persuasive guide to virginity, Hali Meidenhad, and a psychologically astute sermon, Sawles Warde (The Guardianship of the Soul). These works are important witnesses to the development of Middle English writing after the Conquest and to the rigorous anchoritic spiritual life pursued by female recluses in medieval England.
Emily Rebekah Huber is Assistant Professor of English at Franklin & Marshall College and carries out research on Langland, late Middle English romance, and Arthurian romance. Elizabeth Robertson is a professor of English at the University of Glasgow. She has published widely on Chaucer and Langland, medieval literary form and women and religion in medieval English literature.
