DESCRIPTION:The Lives of the legendary virgin martyrs may appear of no rel
 evance for contemporary readers\, except for limited groups such as tradit
 ionalist believers or textual scholars. Such an impression\, however\, is 
 misleading\, given that these ancient stories remain hugely influential in
  our contemporary culture\, both literary and visual. Come and explore lin
 ks between Cinderella’s fairy god-mother and a virgin martyr’s nurse\,
  between Prince Charming and Jesus Christ\, between St Margaret and Britne
 y Spears\, and lots more.\n\nDr Juliana Dresvina graduated as a historian\
 , continued as a theologian\, got a PhD in English and is currently a post
 -doctoral researcher with the Department of Anglo-Saxon\, Norse and Celtic
 . Her main research interest is medieval manuscripts.
