Overview

This bookis a collection of thirteen essays representing the growing variety of approaches being used to write the history of medieval women. In the aggregate, the essays reflect the European medieval world socially, (peasants, urban women, religious women, aristocrats and queens), geographically (including medieval Rus) and across religious boundaries (Christian, Jewish and Muslim). The authors use a variety of narrative strategies, including challenging the traditional authorial voice to place their subject in a better-documented context; often addressing women's less formal communities (such as generations, mentoring relationships within crafts, neighborhoods); and allow themselves to explore - in writing - unrecorded emotions and actions. Each contributorengages directly with how they go about reconstructing medieval women's experience, as well as what that experience was.
