Excellent- More about Saint Patrick Retold: The Legend and History of Ireland's Patron Saint

Publisher: Princeton University Press
Saint Patrick, a controversial figure, was convicted in a trial by his elders in Britain and hounded by rumors that he settled in Ireland for financial gain. Despite facing great odds, he succeeded as a missionary. Saint Patrick Retold, a new biography by Roy Flechner, offers a fresh assessment of Patrick's travails and achievements. It is the first biography in nearly fifty years to explore Patrick's career against the background of historical events. Flechner takes readers on a riveting journey through Romanized Britain and late Iron Age Ireland, leaving no stone unturned. Rather than dismantling Patrick's reputation or arguing against his sainthood, the biography raises crucial questions about self-image and the making of a reputation. From boyhood deeds to the challenges of a missionary enterprise, Saint Patrick Retold steps beyond established narratives to reassess a notable figure's life and legacy.
