| Description: |
The author sifts through the surviving evidence for the life of Francis using modern historical methods. The result is a complex portrait of the man and the saint. Francis emerges from this account as very much a typical thirteenth-century Italian layman, but one who, when faced with unexpected crises in his personal life, made decisions so radical that they challenge his own society—and ours. |
