内容説明

A collection of writings by 14 scholars which consider the evidence of women's involvement in medieval literary culture through pictorial representations in manuscripts of the period. The contributors also assess the problematic nature of illustrations as historical evidence for our understanding of the lives of medieval women and their involvement with books, whether as comissioners, owners, writers, scribes and illuminators, or as subjects of illustrations. This is the third in the British Library series of monographs and multi-author volumes on all aspects of medieval culture.

内容説明

This collection of commissioned essays re-evaluates the role of medieval women as readers, authors, and subjects of books, and the depiction of the relationships between women and books in medieval art. The fourteen essays cover such diverse topics as the development of a female audience for books, examinations of illuminations of and for women in books of hours, and how female authors viewed themselves, as well as the manufacture and collection of books and images by women. Dealing specifically with the relationships between women and images, the volume will be of interest to art historians, feminist scholars, and historians alike.
