ISBN: 9780708322000 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Until recently, the figure of the medieval anchorite and the underlying ideological concepts that framed her day-to-day existence have escaped detailed examination, despite the anchorite s importance to the study of medieval culture. This collection brings together leading scholars in the field of gender and anchoritic studies in order to examine anchoritic enclosure from a variety of different perspectives. In so doing, "Anchorites, Wombs, and Tombs" offers illuminating conclusions about how the phenomenon of anchoritism was affected by, and in turn, influenced contemporary notions of...

A Companion to Julian of Norwich
ISBN: 9781843844044 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Julian of Norwich, the fourteenth/early fifteenth-century anchoress and mystic, is one of the most important and best-known figures of the Middle Ages.

A Revelation of Purgatory
ISBN: 9781843844716 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 199 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A Revelation of Purgatory was written by an unnamed woman, almost certainly an anchoress, in Winchester in 1422. It details from a first-person perspective a series of terrifying visions experienced by the author in which she witnesses the purgatorial sufferings of a former friend named Margaret who makes her way through the blazing fires of purgatory tormented by devils, the "worm of conscience," and - uniquely - her two former pets, a fierce little cat and dog. Through her prayer and the prayers she elicits from her own circle of influential priests, the anchoress is eventually able to...

The History of British Women's Writing, 700-1500: Volume One
ISBN: 9781137517951 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This volume, now available in paperback for the first time, focuses on women's literary history in Britain between 700 and 1500, a period traditionally marginalized in accounts of women's writing in English. Such marginalization, the editors argue, has been brought about in part by the erroneous assumption that there were no women writers in Britain before the emergence of Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The History of British Women's Writing Volume 1: 700-1500 vigorously refutes this premise by exploring a wide range of texts written by, for,...

Medieval Anchoritisms: Gender, Space and the Solitary Life
ISBN: 9781843842774 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Originating in the deserts of northern Africa in the early years of Christianity, anchoritism, or the enclosed solitary life, gradually metamorphosed into a permanent characteristic of European religiosity; from the twelfth century onwards, and throughout the middle ages, it was embraced with increasing enthusiasm, by devoted laywomen in particular. This book investigates the wider cultural importance of medieval anchoritism within the different religious landscapes and climates of the period. Drawing upon a range of contemporary gender and spatial theories, it focuses on the gender dynamics...

Rhetoric of the Anchorhold : Space, Place and Body within the Disclosures of Enclosures of Eric
ISBN: 9780708321300 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume of essays focuses on religious reclusion in England commonly referred to as anchoritic enclosure which reached the height of its popularity, particularly for women, in the later Middle Ages. Examining this extraordinary phenomenon of voluntary, permanent solitary enclosure in a cell attached to a church from a number of different perspectives, "Rhetoric of the Anchorhold" demonstrates how the rhetoric of this form of enclosure became a key part of religious discourse. Exploring how the anchorhold s associations traveled into lay culture, this volume argues for the centrality of...

Authority and the Female Body in the Writings of Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe
ISBN: 9781843840084 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The writings of Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe show an awareness of traditional and contemporary attitudes towards women, in particular medieval attitudes towards the female body. This study examines the extent to which they make use of such attitudes in their writing, and investigates the importance of the female body as a means of explaining their mystical experiences and the insight gained from them; in both writers, the female body is central to their writing, leading to a feminised language through which they achieve authority and create a space in which they can be heard,...

Medieval Anchorites in Their Communities
ISBN: 9781843844624 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Much of the research into medieval anchoritism to date has focused primarily on its liminal and elite status within the socio-religious cultures of its day: the anchorite has long been depicted as both solitary and alone, almost entirely removed from community and living a life of permanent withdrawal and isolation, in effect dead to the world. Considerably less attention has been afforded to the communal sociability that also formed part of the reclusive life during the period, The essays in this volume, stemming from a variety of cross-disciplinary approaches and methodologies, lay down a...

The Book of Margery Kempe: Abridged Translation, Introduction, Notes
ISBN: 9780859917919 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A unique narrative of sin, sex and salvation, The Book of Margery Kempe comprises a text which has continued to perplex and fascinate contemporary audiences since its discovery in the library of an English country house in 1934. Simultaneously exasperating, endearing, vulnerable and eccentric, Margery Kempe, mother of fourteen children and wife to a bemused John Kempe, provides us with an autobiographical account of her own singular brand of affective piety - excessive weeping, lack of bodily control, compulsive travelling, visionary meditations - and the growth of what she regarded as an...

Consuming Narratives : Gender and Monstrous Appetites in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
ISBN: 9780708317433 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Consuming Narratives is a collection of essays dealing with the relevance of the concept and metaphor of appetite for understanding writing, politics, race, nation and gender in the medieval and modern periods. The essays trace the development of concepts of monstrous consumption through three key areas: the role of appetite in the construction of the self and its others; the use of the metaphor of appetite to represent sexual and epistemological activities; and the socio-political dimension of appetite.

Women\'s Literary Cultures in the Global Middle Ages: Speaking Internationally
ISBN: 9781843846567 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Initiates a wider development of inquiries into women's literary cultures to move the reader beyond single geographical, linguistic, cultural and period boundaries. Since the closing decades of the twentieth century, medieval women's writing has been the subject of energetic conversation and debate. This interest, however, has focused predominantly on western European writers working within the Christian tradition: the Saxon visionaries, Mechthild of Hackeborn, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Gertrude the Great, for example, and, in England, Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe are cases in point....

Reconsidering Gender, Time and Memory in Medieval Culture
ISBN: 9781843844037 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The training and use of memory was crucial in medieval culture, given the limited literacy at the time, but to date, very little thought has been given to the complex and disparate ways in which the theory and practices of memory interacted with the inherently unstable concepts of time and gender at the time. The essays in this volume, drawing on approaches from applied poststructural and queer theory among others, reassess those ideologies, meanings and responses generated by the workings of memory within and over -time-. Ultimately, they argue for the inherent instability of the traditional...
