Reviews

The eleven essays collected in Grief, Gender, and Identity in the Middle Ages offer new insights into the history of emotions in medieval lyric, drama, romance, hagiography, and historiography [...] the essays in the volume make a coherent whole, a credit to both contributors and editor [...] Taken as a whole, the collection offers a valuable account of the intersection of gender and the practices and representations of grief on the northern and western edges of medieval Latin Europe [...] It is a worthy and necessary addition to the scholarly literature on grief and gender. Spencer Strub, in The Medieval Review, 22.05.15. See the full review here.
