Sean L. Field is assistant professor of history at the University of Vermont.

"The edition and facing translation are well presented, accurate, and accessible. The book should prove an excellent resource for upper-level undergraduate courses covering women, religion, medieval Paris, and the French language and literature. With Field's contribution, the University of Notre Dame Press has added a valuable volume to its series 'Texts in Medieval Culture.' " —H-France Reviews"Field's excellent and accessible editions of these two texts will be welcomed by all those with a specific interest in works written by women in the Middle Ages, in the position of women in medieval society, and in hagiography. They will also be valued greatly by those with a more general interest in thirteenth-century French culture and society. Field is to be commended for drawing to prominence two sources which have been much neglected but which offer an important window onto a complex period." —Comitatus" . . . brings to light two texts written in the last quarter of the 13th c. by Agnès d'Harcourt, third abbess of Longchamp, in honour of its foundress, Isabelle, and one of its benefactors, and Isabelle's brother, King Louis IX. The introduction includes a thorough analysis of every aspect of the texts and their contexts." -This Year's Work in Modern Language Studies
