Women's Space: Patronage, Place, And Gender in the Medieval Church (Suny Series in Medieval Studies) - Tapa blanda

"...a wide-ranging and thoughtful volume." -- Medium Ævum

"The authors, largely American scholars, are very much aware of the provocations of recent scholarship and aim to consider conceptual challenges by anthropologists, geographers, and social theorists as to how we might understand space, place, and gender, and then how these concepts were moderated through patronage ... The strongest essays focus either on theory or material and are precise as to how they are examining (and distinguishing between) space or place." -- English Historical Review

"Everything in this volume is worth reading." -- Journal of English and Germanic Philology

"This collection's interdisciplinarity, with essays by art historians, historians, and literary scholars, will make it useful to a variety of scholars working on gender issues in the Middle Ages." -- Elizabeth Robertson, coeditor of Representing Rape in Medieval and Early Modern Literature

"The topic of gender and space in the Middle Ages, particularly women's relationships to the material spaces of religious practice, is original, and its investigation here produces very satisfying results." -- Theresa Coletti, author of Mary Magdalene and the Drama of Saints: Theater, Gender, and Religion in Late Medieval England
