This volume fills an important gap in the study of medieval English sanctity. Focused
on the period 1150-1550, it examines later manifestations of pre-conquest northern
English cults (John of Beverley, Oswald, Hilda, Ætheldreda etc.), and the establishment
and development of many more during the twelfth to fifteenth centuries (Godric of
Finchale, Robert of Knaresborough, Oswine of Tynemouth, Æbbe of Coldingham, Bega of
Copeland, William of York, etc.). It showcases the diversity of new northern cults
that emerged after 1150, and pays particular attention to cultures of episcopal and
eremitic devotion and hagiographic production in Yorkshire, Cumbria and Lincolnshire.00Divided
into five subsections, the volume opens by exploring the relation of sanctity to constructions
of northern identity through targeted examinations of northern textual and material
cultures. It then turns to a series of case studies of northern saints? cults, grouped
with reference to the eremitic life, female networks and locations, and the contextualisation
of northern sanctity within national, transnational and post-medieval currents of
veneration. Underlying all these essays is a concern with the conflicted idea of ?northernness?.
This collection argues for a northern sanctity that is imagined in varying ways by
different communities (monastic, diocesan, national etc.), allied to a series of conceptual
?norths? that differ significantly in accordance with the bodies of evidence under
survey
