Reviews

In The Afterlives of Rape in Medieval English Literature, Suzanne M. Edwards explores representations of outliving rape in English saint's lives, anchoritic texts, romances, and legal statutes from the eleventh through fifteenth centuries. ... This book is valuable for medieval scholars, feminist scholars, and academics and activists who seek to combat sexual violence, as Afterlives provides important insight into theoretical conversations about gendered subjectivity, survival, and agency. (Carissa M. Harris, Modern Philology, Vol. 115 (3), February, 2018)
