Ancrene Wisse introduced through a variety of cultural and critical
approaches which establish the originality and interest of the
treatise. The thirteenth-century Ancrene Wisse is a guide for
female recluses. Addressed to three young sisters of gentle birth,
it teaches what truly good anchoresses should and should not do,
offering in its examples a glimpse of the real life women had in
England in the middle ages. It is also important for its evidence
for the continuation of the Anglo-Saxon tradition of prose writing,
being produced in the West Midlands where Old English writing
conventions continued to develop even after the Norman conquest.
The Companion addresses the cultural and historical background, the
affiliations of the versions, genre, authorship and language; the
various approaches also includea feminist reading of the text.
