Women, Reading, and Piety in Late Medieval England - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature
Erler, Mary C. (Fordham University, New York)
Through seven narratives of individual medieval women, prefaced by an overview of nuns' reading and of women who owned printed books, Mary Erler traces networks of female book ownership and exchange which have so far been obscure, and shows how women were responsible for both owning and circulating devotional books.
