About This Item
Cambridge: D. S. Brewer.. As New with no dust jacket. 2003. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0859918254 . An 'As NEW' hardback book with NO inscriptions or other marks. Bright, clean and tight, unworn, looks unread - indistinguishable from NEW. Black cloth boards with bright gilt titling to the spine and a printed paper title label impressed on the front board. Clean white page edges. (x) + 204 pp. With a detailed bibliography and index. Translated by Vera Morton, with an Interpretive Essay by Jocelyn Wogan-Browne. Includes letters from Osbert of Clare, Goscelin of St Bertin, and those from Abelard to Heloise. "These translated letters and texts composed for younger and older women in twelfth-century convents illuminate the powerful medieval ideals of virginity and chastity. They show that the literature of virginity and chastity could offer a wide range of role models and precedents for women in the medieval church, both in their spiritual formation and in the practical concerns of their monastic lives..." The 'interpretive essay' explores the practical and spiritual engagement of women's convents with medieval commemorative and memorial practices, showing that the professional concern of women religious with death goes far beyond the stereotype of nuns as dead to the world, or enclosed in living death." . GIFT QUALITY. See Images ; The Library of Medieval Women; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
