La Vie d'Edouard le ConfesseurBy a Nun of Barking Abbey
Jane Bliss
Jane Bliss presents the first modern English edition of the twelfth-century Anglo-Norman verse Life of King Edward the Confessor, with a full introduction, notes and a glossary. The anonymous author, a Nun of Barking Abbey, gives a multi-faceted account of Edward, as a king and saint, that includes material not found in other hagiographic narratives of the Confessor. Slightly off-mint.
