Through an analysis of French hagiography and the vernacular translations of nineteen saints' lives, Johnson and Cazelles explore the impact of saints on ordinary men and the relationship between holiness and heroism in the twelfth century. Divided into two parts, the first is devoted to aspects of the hero-saint and savior-saint, and the second, organized alphabetically by saint's name, engages the French hagiographic traditions.

"Soundscape in Early French Literature is a study of how sound is employed in a variety of Latin and early French works. In five chapters, titled to reflect the author's attention to and interest in sound. Cazelles shows that sound plays a much more crucial role in literature than we may have realized and that noise has a textuality."--BOOK JACKET.
