This chapter addresses a similar tension in the medieval virgin martyr genre, using the Czech Legend of St Catherine of Alexandria to demonstrate how the split representation of the heroine as a saint and as a potential heretic actually reflects the split in the male ego and, specifically, the divided Dominican author for whom holy women were at once a source of veneration and of profound mistrust.

摘要

This chapter addresses a similar tension in the medieval virgin martyr genre, using the Czech Legend of St Catherine of Alexandria to demonstrate how the split representation of the heroine as a saint and as a potential heretic actually reflects the split in the male ego and, specifically, the divided Dominican author for whom holy women were at once a source of veneration and of profound mistrust.
