Join us for a very special online event as Dr Roberta Magnani and Dr Laura Kalas discuss their new book 'Women in Christianity in the Medieval Age 1000-1500' with Prof. Liz Herbert McAvoy (Professor Emerita, Swansea University), Dr Laura Varnam, Lecturer in Old and Middle English at University College, Oxford, and additional volume contributors. Book Synopsis: This volume offers an investigation of the multivocality of women’s experience in the Middle Ages. In medieval Europe women saw their role in the Christian Church and society progressively confined to conflicting models of femininity epitomised by the dichotomy of Eve/Mary. Towards the end of the Middle Ages, women’s somatic spirituality influenced burgeoning modes of piety, which afforded women the space for an increased level of self-expression and authority. Ranging from philosophical and theological enquiry to education and art, as well as medical sciences and popular beliefs, the essays in this collection account for the complexities and richness of the conceptualisations and lived experiences of medieval Christian women. 20% DISCOUNT OFF BOOK PRICE OFFER: https://bit.ly/20offwicmedieval USE CODE: 25AFLY1
