The History of British Women's Writing, 700-1500, Volume One - Paperback

by Liz Herbert McAvoy (Author), Diane Watt (Author)

This volume focuses on women's literary history in Britain between 700 and 1500. It brings to the fore a wide range of women's literary activity undertaken in Latin, Welsh and Anglo-Norman alongside that of the English vernacular, demanding a rethinking of the traditions of literary history, and ultimately the concept of 'writing' itself.
