| book description |

This book uses the cult of relics to understand medieval monsters. Focusing on Beowulf, The Alliterative Morte Arthure, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, it shows how heroes' trophies--a monster's head, hand, or weapon--let audiences touch a story that is at once secular, holy, and ongoing. Like saints' relics venerated across medieval England, these remains prove an account while becoming the seeds of narrative. Monster relics trouble sacred-secular boundaries, bearing witness to horrors and to God's victory. They are signs that something disturbing and wonderful has happened--and that the story isn't over yet.
