Edited, with an introduction by Deal W. Hudson
 
Some of the essays in this book ponder the enduring power of Kristin Lavransdatter, and other explore the larger concept of Undset's spiritual legacy, a prophetic authorship begging for rediscovery. Translations of some of Undset's other writings in this volume provide an opportunity to sample portions of that legacy previously unavailable in English. These essays and translations revive the most important woman's voice of the twentieth century Catholic revival.
