Recenzii

"The virtues of this book are many-Koopmans asks some fresh questions, gives new and provocative answers to old ones, demonstrates historical imagination and empathy of a rare degree, and writes in an exquisitely readable style."-Barbara Newman, Northwestern University "Rachel Koopmans discovers in the miracle stories collected in England from roughly 1080 to 1220 an exquisite means of examining high medieval religious culture... Koopmans has done medievalists a great service in directing our attention to the English miracle craze, and offering a sharp method for understanding how miracle collections worked."-Medieval Review
