How is it possible to tell a story about holiness? The contributions in this volume explore narrative strategies in late antique saints' lives and investigate the connections between these texts and other Christian and Greco-Roman literature. Models borrowed from current narratological research and studies in intertextuality are employed and developed further in relation to saints' lives.
