For more than 20 years this acclaimed series, under the editorship of the distinguished scholar Professor Jane Chance, has published texts by, for, and about medieval women. It includes canonical works, such as Julian of Norwich’s Revelations; but also seeks to bring to light writings which are not so well-known, thus making them available for a wider audience, and giving us a better picture of women’s intellectual, political and spiritual life in the middle ages.

We are delighted to announce that the most popular and sought-after titles from this series are now available in paperback. Especially priced for the student budget, these paperback editions are suitable for course adoption. For more detailed information about our course adoption scheme and to get in touch with us, see our examination and desk copies page.
