This volume challenges traditional views of women’s engagement with text in late-medieval convents, moving beyond the idea of passive reception to highlight their active and creative use of writing. It explores diverse literary activities, such as reading aloud, singing, redacting, translating, and authoring. Through detailed case studies, the contributions investigate how factors like historical developments, social shifts, communal life, and personal networks influenced women’s access to and interaction with text. The studies emphasise the fluidity of textual transmission and adaptation within convents, demonstrating that women’s text use was highly contextualized and dynamic. Ultimately, the volume seeks to diversify our understanding of readership by examining specific social and literary contexts, and questioning the essentialising of gender differences in reading practices. 2026-06-06T05:11:45Z 2026-06-06T05:11:45Z 2026-06-05T13:53:49Z 2026 book book ONIX_20260605T151934_9783737019453_5 2198-7033 https://www.vr-elibrary.de/doi/book/10.14220/9783737019453 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/113897 9783737019453 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/177187 eng Transatlantische Studien zu Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit – Transatlantic Studies on Medieval and Early Modern Literature and Culture (TRAST) open access image/jpeg Attribution 4.0 International https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/113897/1/9783737019453.pdf Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 10.14220/9783737019453 10.14220/9783737019453 f0c96982-0af7-4ed4-af3e-e2461f2d12c9 9783737019453 383 Göttingen open access
