Description
Edith the Fair: Visionary of Walsingham is a groundbreaking study that sheds new light on one of England's most revered shrines. Historian B. W. Flint has spent years researching the origins of the Marian shrine at Walsingham, and his exhaustive analysis reveals surprising insights into its history.
Flint's meticulous examination of primary sources, including the Norfolk Rolls and the Pynson Ballad, has led to a major breakthrough in understanding the identity of the woman who was entrusted with the shrine. His findings have significant implications for our understanding of Anglo-Saxon Christianity and the English Catholic Church.
This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity in England, and particularly those fascinated by the stories of medieval visionaries.
