Description

This is the book that teachers of courses on women in the Middle Ages have been wanting to write-or see written-for years.

Essays written by specialists in their respective fields cover a range of topics unmatched in depth and breadth by any other introductory text.

Depictions of women in literature and art, women in the medieval urban landscape, an the issue of women's relation to definitions of deviance and otherness all receive particular attention.

Geographical regions such as the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic Near East are fully incorporated into the text, expanding the horizons of medieval studies.

The collection is organized thematically and includes all the tools needed to contextualize women in medieval society and culture.
