Women Writers of the Middle Ages Course/Class April 29, 2011

Medieval women writers are more common than you might suppose! This course will examine the lives and the writing of just five women who lived from the tenth through to the fifteenth centuries in England, France and Germany. Often, we know little about their childhood and means of education, but we know from surviving texts and manuscripts that they wrote volumes. From letters to books, to scientific and literary treatises, as well as plays and musical scores, these women were prolific writers. Come and spend a day in the Middle Ages, and meet these amazing women, explore their world, meet the men they loved and lost, and hear excerpts from their wonderful and fascinating stories and poems that live on even today.
