Book Description
Excerpt from The Young Disciple, or a Memoir of Anzonetta R. Peters The only striking peculiarities that marked her early years, now recollected by her friends, were quickness of temper, uncommon sprightliness of mind, great physical activity, and strong affections. In re lation to this period of -her. Life her mother remarks, She was full of animation and spirits. She walked, or rather ran alone, when eight months old; and after she had once gained the use of her feet, she was seldom off from them while awake. All her movei ments were rapid, and her activity beyond any thing I have ever witnessed. This activity invariably at tracted the notice of strangers it was of so restless and ceaseless a character, that some have supposed it induced disease, and was remotely the cause of her early and premature death.

Book Description
Though medieval "saints' lives" are among the oldest literary texts of Western vernacular culture, they are routinely patronized as "pious fiction" by modern historiography. This book demonstrates that to characterize the genre as fiction is to misunderstand the intentions of medieval authors, who were neither credulous fools nor men blinded by piety. Concentrating on English texts, Heffernan reconstructs the medieval perspective and considers sacred biography in relation to the community for which it was written; identifies the genre's rhetorical practices and purposes; and demonstrates the syncretistic way in which the life of the medieval saint was transformed from oral tales to sacred text. In the process, Heffernan not only achieves a more contextually accurate understanding of the medieval saints' lives, but details a new critical method that has important implications for the practice of textual criticism.
