Saints Lives - Hardback - 2014

Henry of Avranches, professional versifier to abbots, bishops, kings, and a pope, displays pyrotechnical verbal skill and playfulness that rivals the Carmina Burana and collections of rhymed secular verse. Yet The Saints Lives also stands as selfconscious heir to the great classicizing tradition of twelfthcentury epic poets.
