Samantha Herrick studies the legends of medieval saints. She traces their overlapping content and their circulation through institutional networks to discover how relationships among texts and communities influenced medieval Christians’ view of sacred history. Her research additionally asks whether sharing stories entailed a sort of collaborative imagination by communities constructing their pasts.
