330 .. $a St Edmund, king and martyr, supposedly killed by Danes (or "Vikings") in 869, was
one of the pre-eminent saints of the middle ages; his cult was favoured and patronised
by several English kings, and gave rise to a rich array of visual, literary, musical
and political artefacts. This study explores the development of devotion to St Edmund,
from its first flourishing in the ninth century to the eve of the Reformation. It
explores a series of key questions: how, why and when did the cult develop? Who was
responsible for its promotion and dissemination? To which groups and individuals did
St Edmund appeal? How did this evolve over time? Using as evidence a range of textual
and visual treasures from the Anglo-Saxon king's erstwhile kingdom and later cultic
heartland, Norfolk and Suffolk, the study draws on sources and approaches from a variety
of disciplines (literature, art history, social history and anthropology) to elucidate
the social, cultural and political dynamics of cult construction
