The Passion of Perpetua and Felicitas in Late Antiquity

"This is one of those books of such obvious importance that it leaves you wondering why no one has ever thought to do this before. Bringing together the many texts and traditions of Perpetua and Felicitas, this volume does a great service to scholarship."--Paul Middleton, author of The Violence of the Lamb: Martyrs as Agents of Divine Judgement in the Book of Revelation "What happened to the reputations of the martyrs Perpetua and Felicitas after their deaths? This fine book provides answers to that question, offering a compilation of sources from the familiar to the obscure, along with introductory analyses of each text that are always helpful and often extraordinarily insightful. It's a must for researchers."--Joyce E. Salisbury, author of Perpetua's Passion: Death and Memory of a Late Roman Woman
