New essays on the burgeoning of pastoral and devotional literature
in medieval England. Pastoral and devotional literature flourished
throughout the middle ages, and its growth and transmutations form
the focus of this collection. Ranging historically from the
difficulties of localizing Anglo-Saxon pastoral texts tothe reading
of women in late-medieval England, the individual essays survey its
development and its transformation into the literature of
vernacular spirituality. They offer both close examinations of
particular manuscripts, and of individual texts, including an
anonymous Speculum iuniroum, the Speculum religiosorum of Edmund of
Abingdon and later vernacular compositions and translations, such
as Handlyng Synne and Bonaventure's Lignum Vitae. The reading and
devotional use of texts by women and solitaries is also considered.
They therefore form an appropriate tribute to the work of Bella
Millett, whose research has done so much to advance our knowledge
of the field. Contributors: Alexandra Barratt, Mishtooni Bose,
Joseph Goering, Brian Golding, C. Annette Grise, Cate Gunn, Ralph
Hanna, Bob Hasenfratz, Catherine Innes-Parker, E. A. Jones, Derek
Pearsall, Elaine Treharne, Nicholas Watson, Jocelyn Wogan-Browne
