Women, Writing and Religion in England and Beyond, 650-1100 focuses on the period before the so-called 'Barking Renaissance' of women's writing in the 12th century. By examining the surviving evidence of women's authorship, as well as the evidence of women's engagement with literary culture more widely, Diane Watt argues that early women's writing was often lost, suppressed, or deliberately destroyed. In particular she considers the different forms of male 'overwriting', to which she ascribes the multiple connotations of 'destruction', 'preservation', 'control' and 'suppression'. She uses the term to describe the complex relationship between male authors and their female subjects to capture the ways in which texts can attempt to control and circumscribe female autonomy. Written by one of the leading experts in medieval women's writing, Women, Writing and Religion in England and Beyond, 650-1100 examines women's literary engagement in monasteries such as Ely, Whitby, Barking and Wilton Abbey, as well as letters and hagiographies from the 8th and 9th centuries. Diane Watt provides a much-needed look at women's writing in the early medieval period that is crucial to understanding women's literary history more broadly."--Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 205-226) and index. 505 0 $a Women's literary communities at Ely and Whitby -- Women writing at barking and Minster-in-Thanet -- Missionary women's letters and poetry -- Exemplary missionary lives -- (Re)writing women's history at Wilton Abbey -- Textual intimacies in and beyond Wilton. 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 650 0 $a English literature $y Old English, ca. 450-1100 $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103199 650 0 $a English literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103144 650 0 $a Women and literature $z Great Britain $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Women and religion $z Great Britain $x History $y To 1500. 650 7 $a English literature $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/912218 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/912218 650 7 $a English literature $x Old English. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1710962 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1710962 650 7 $a Women and literature. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1177093 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1177093 650 7 $a Women and religion. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1177110 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1177110 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Studies in early medieval history. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2011178875 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317014509.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=81277682323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
