Women, Reading, and Piety in Late Medieval England traces networks
of female book ownership and exchange which have so far been
obscure, and shows how women were responsible for both owning and
circulating devotional books. In seven narratives of individual
women who lived between 1350 and 1550, Mary Erler illustrates the
ways in which women read and the routes by which they passed books
from hand to hand. These stories are prefaced by an overview of
nuns' reading and their surviving books, and are followed by a
survey of women who owned the first printed books in England. An
appendix lists a number of books not previously attributed to
religious women's ownership. Erler's narratives also provide
studies of female friendship, since they situate women's reading in
a network of family and social connections. The book uses
bibliography to explore social and intellectual history.
