The Life of St Guthlac is a medieval text written around 740 detailing the life of a warrior who gave up his ways and devoted his life to Christianity. Guthlac became a hermit on the English fenlands and the tale highlights the spiritual guidance he provided to those in need in his 15 years a recluse. With an expected religious focus, the text very quickly skipped over the earlier and seemingly more interesting aspects of Guthlac’s life, the religious focus being largely unexciting. Guthlac himself seemed to be nothing remarkable either. As a whole, the text wasn’t particularly inspiring nor is there much for me to comment on.
