There are extracts from texts first written in Middle English by women, texts translated by women into Middle English, and texts composed by women in French and Latin that were available in Middle English translation. These include accounts of religious experiences; prayers and meditations; scriptural commentary; personal letters; educational writings; romance; and poetry. For this second edition, new texts have been added, including women's wills and other legal documents, a nun's form of confession, and more extracts from visionary writings. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA headnote accompanies each set of extracts, together with generous on-the-page annotations and explanatory glosses. The Introduction places the selections in context, and discusses whether such a category as 'women's writing' could be said to exist in the Middle Ages. This new edition also includes a full, updated bibliography of primary and secondary sources. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlexandra Barratt is Professor of English at the University of Waikato, New Zealand. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45235479609495,"sku":"9781408204146","price":4496.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781408204146.webp?v=1769209833","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/womens-writing-in-middle-english-an-annotated-anthology-9781408204146","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
