Reviews
'... this is an excellent book that brings to the fore one of the most obscure corners of early medieval literature. Taylor's superb analysis demonstrates just how multifaceted verse Lives really were, and anybody interested in hagiography, education, poetry or classicism ought to read this and look much more closely at these hitherto neglected works.' Edward Roberts, Early Medieval Review
