Beskrivning
This sourcebook presents editions and translations of seven fourteenth- and fifteenth-century texts that advance our understanding of gender, sexuality, and class in the late medieval German-speaking world. Three of the translated texts are fiction. Additionally, there is a religious treatise, a religious legend, an inventory of books, and a legal document. While each of these texts is instructive in and of itself, they gain in complexity when brought into dialogue with one another.

Mer om författaren

Ann Marie Rasmussen is Professor Emerita of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Duke. Her research treats medieval literature and culture from the twelfth century to the Reformation. In her publications she combine gender studies with a variety of other approaches, including manuscript studies, the anthropology of gift-giving, visuality studies, and, most recently, material culture. Sarah Westphal-Wihl is Associate Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Rice. She is the author of Textual Poetics of German Manuscripts 1300-1500, a study of how the production of hand-written books reveals aspects of medieval reading and interpretive practice. Her current research is concerned with the representation of women in medieval fictional trials and how it relates to the theory of gender in medieval customary law.
