My review of The Cult of St Edmund in Medieval East Anglia by Rebecca Pinner has just been published in Folklore, the journal of the Folklore Society. Pinner’s authoritative study is a complete literary and historical survey of the medieval hagiography of St Edmund as well as a comprehensive guide to all images of the saint, with a particular focus on his veneration in Norfolk. The author does not neglect the shrine of St Edmund at Bury either, providing a detailed description of its physical appearance and setting based on the latest research. This is an important book that provides the essential background to my own work on the post-Reformation cult and iconography of St Edmund, as well as complimenting my recent book on the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds.
