title: "Once Upon a Time There Was a Saint…": Re-evaluating Folklore in Anglo-Latin Hagiography.
abstract: This article examines methods for identifying folklore in hagiography. Using hagiographical materials from eleventh and twelfth century England, it critiques the current trend of equating folklore motifs with oral transmission and argues in favour of a "performer-centred" understanding of folklore and hagiographical composition.
