This is one of the first anthologies devoted to the writings of women in the Middle Ages. The fifteen women whose works are represented span seven centuries, eight languages, and ten regions or nationalities. Many are recognized, taught, and anthologized in their own countries but have been inaccessible to students in English. Others are little read today because their literary fortunes have paralleled fluctuations in literary taste and literary patronage.
Katharina M. Wilson's introduction to the volume places these writers in historical context and explores the question of the female imagination and who these women were who were writing at a time when very few women were literate and most literature, sacred and secular, was penned by men. Each of the fifteen chapters has been written by a different scholar and includes a biographical and critical introduction to the writer, a representative selection of her works in translation, and a bibliography.

Medieval Women Writers
This may have been the edition my supervisor recommended, but I'm not sure I particularly liked it, because it missed out a lot of episodes I had planned (from reading other editions) to include in my essay, therefore making it less useful than it could have been.
On the plus side, it manages to seriously emphasise Lancelot/Galehaut to the point where there is absolutely no doubt that they are both very bi and in love, so that's always fun. (I think it's Elias who, when giving Galehaut advice, literally uses a phrase to the effect of "any man or woman with whom you are in love", making it pretty clear he doesn't perceive a difference between the two and that they're the same kind of relationship, which is about as canon a queer character as you're going to get in medieval literature. I'm undecided as to whether it should qualify for that shelf, though, being a wee bit ambiguous.) Also, I am still very emotional about Galehaut dying for love of Lancelot and them eventually being buried in the same grave. There are feelings happening. It's a concern.
