Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-18 00:00:00 John Connell I chose this book for its provocative title, hoping for insights into medieval womanhood - but it is actually a work of literary criticism, dealing with both the medieval texts themselves from a feminist perspective and the historically patriarchal scholarship about them. The author is clearly interested in language and the history of language, which serves as a warning that you will be dealing with someone who uses language densely and precisely, and at times it's quite slow reading. (For example, a fondness for compounding prefixes, "It is neither in- nor destructive". Stuff like that, not your normal reading.) Still, I greatly enjoyed revisiting the texts from a modern critical point of view, something I haven't done much with the medieval romances I've read.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-12-28 00:00:00 Marco Morana Really great help when I was trying to outline the criteria for an epic in my nonthesis.
