Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

The thirteenth-century Ancrene Wisse is one of the major works of early Middle English prose, and was repeatedly revised and adapted for different audiences. It has attracted much attention from students of church history and women's studies as a highly influential, important example of pastoral guidance for women religions. This is the first edition to bring together the full manuscript evidence, and to set it in its broader cultural and institutional context. Volume II will be published in 2006.

Revue de presse

This is an elegant and informed statement of modern editing which contains some important insights for the treatment of later medieval vernacular texts, particularly those of a practical nature. (Margaret Connolly, Medium Aevum)
