This book offers a fresh contextualisation which engages with the history of lay piety and vernacular spirituality in the Middle Ages. This book is innovative in that it provides an introduction to "Ancrene Wisse", one of the most important works in English of the thirteenth century. It offers a new contextualisation which engages with the history of lay piety and vernacular spirituality in the Middle Ages, thus extending analysis of the book beyond its original purpose as a guide for anchoresses. The placing of "Ancrene Wisse" within this context also allows comparisons to be made with other literature for semi-regular women, such as sermons preached to beguines - semi-religious women who formed communities in the Low Countries and France in the High Middle Ages.Religion and Culture in the Middle Ages (University of Wales Press).Devotional literature, English (Middle)History and criticismEnglish literatureMiddle English, 1100-1500History and criticismNunsReligious lifeNunsBooks and readingEnglandHistoryTo 1500WomenReligious aspectsChristianityEnglishHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCEnglish LiteratureHILCCcultuurmiddle agesculturereligiereligionmiddeleeuwenAnchoriteAncrene WisseBeguines and BeghardsGodLaitySpiritualityDevotional literature, English (Middle)History and criticism.English literatureHistory and criticism.NunsReligious life.NunsBooks and readingHistoryWomenReligious aspectsChristianity.EnglishLanguages & LiteraturesEnglish Literature255.901Gunn Cate904312PQKBUkMaJRU9910563076503321Ancrene Wisse and vernacular spirit2021993UNINA
