"With Sin and Filth in Medieval Culture, Martha Bayless makes an important contribution to emerging scholarship in this area and provides both the conceptual groundwork and a wealth of valuable examples on which future, more localized studies, will profitably be able to respond and draw." -- Katie L. Walter, Review of English Studies
