Ladies, Whores, and Holy Women

A Sourcebook in Courtly, Religious, and Urban Cultures of Late Medieval Germany

166 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

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.
