Reading "The Revelations of Elizabeth of Hungary" as a Devotional Text

Abstract

Beginning with the argument that "The Revelations" were intended to function as a devotional text, this thesis then examines how a devotional reading of "The Revelations" must have changed between two contexts: the first context being that of the fourteenth-century Dominican convent of Toess where the text was initially composed and the second context being that of fifteenth-century England where the text was misattributed to Saint Elizabeth.
