A multi-disciplinary re-evaluation of the role of women religious
in the Middle Ages, both inside and outside the cloister. Medieval
women found diverse ways of expressing their religious aspirations:
within the cloister as members of monastic and religious orders,
within the world as vowesses, or between the two as anchorites. Via
a range of disciplinary approaches, from history, archaeology,
literature, and the visual arts, the essays in this volume
challenge received scholarly narratives and re-examine the roles of
women religious: their authority and agency within their own
communities and the wider world; their learning and literacy; place
in the landscape; and visual culture. Overall, they highlight the
impact of women on the world around them, the significance of their
presence in communities, and the experiences and legacies they left
behind.
