The essays in Hrotsvit of Gandersheim examine the historical, cultural, legal, and political contexts of Hrotsvit's works, locating her opus within the tenth-century aristocratic and clerical intellectual milieu. This collection contextualizes Hrotsvit's works with respect to heroic, sexual, domestic, behavioural, linguistic, theological, and hierarchical aspects of early medieval and patristic literary traditions. It also explores other literary texts that inform Hrotsvit's works and discusses the performance history and theatricality of Hrotsvit's plays. Hrotsvit's keen awareness of contemporary issues and her determination, within the parameters of monastic-aristocratic ideological constraints, to provide her readers with a rich variety of exemplary female heroes and acts of personal courage, offer twenty-first-century readers a powerful model of responsibility and agency. 606 $aChristian literature, Latin (Medieval and modern)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristianity and literature$zGermany$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aWomen and literature$zGermany$xHistory$yTo 1500 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristian literature, Latin (Medieval and modern)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristianity and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 676 $a872/.03 702 $aBrown$b Phyllis Rugg$f1949- 702 $aMcMillin$b Linda A.$f1959- 702 $aWilson$b Katharina M. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780670103321 996 $aHrotsvit of Gandersheim$93725866 997 $aUNINA
