    Issue 30: Women in the Medieval Church Women in the Medieval Church: Did You Know? Jeannette L. Angell is a doctoral candidate in history and liturgics at the School of Theology, Boston University. The first autobiography in the English language was written by a Christian woman, Margery Kempe, who lived in the early 1400s. In the early Middle Ages, it was not uncommon for an abbess (the female head of a religious community) to rule “double” communities of both men and women. One who did so was Hilda of Whitby (614–680), whose abbey became famous for its learning and libraries. Five future bishops were trained in her community, and kings and rulers sought her advice. Many women joined the Crusades. They began to be required to gain their husbands’ consent before leaving. Christian women often corresponded with—and gave advice to—the most prominent leaders of their day. Heloise (better known for her relationship with famous philosopher Peter Abelard) maintained a significant exchange with Peter the Venerable, the influential abbot of Cluny. The two discussed theology and spirituality at length. Anselm, later Archbishop of Canterbury (1093–1109), corresponded with Queen Matilda on matters of religion. Of all the recognized saints between 500 and 1200, about 15 percent were women. Some Anglo-Saxon queens appointed bishops. Queen Emma of Normandy, one of the most powerful people in England in the early eleventh century, clearly did so. So did Edith, wife of Edward the Confessor, the English king who built Westminster Abbey. Brigid of Ireland was said to have been consecrated a bishop.

  • Medieval Women's Writing Workshop: Reading Pack
    Medieval Women’s Writing Workshop: Reading Pack . Wednesday 24th February 2018 Generously supported by the Department of French. Contact: Louise Campion: [email protected] Jane Sinnett-Smith: [email protected] Clemence of Barking England, fl. c. 1163 to 1200 Little is known about Clemence, other than the information she gives about herself when she signs her name at the end of her Life of St Catherine, written in Anglo-Norman French in the late 12th century: that her name is Clemence and she is a nun from Barking Abbey in Essex. Barking Abbey was a wealthy and powerful institution that maintained links to the royal and political elite. Barking was an important centre for women’s literary culture, with several surviving works being produced by or for the female community there, and there is evidence of a relatively substantial library. The Life of St Catherine written by Clemence follows the tale of Catherine of Alexandria, a young Christian martyr who died in the early 4th century. Clemence translates and adapts her text into French from a very popular 11th century Latin version. In comparison to her source, Clemence is particularly interested in questions of women’s authorship and speech. Her text survives in 3 manuscripts, at least one of which we know was owned by another female religious community at Campsey in England, suggesting how this text might resonate with a readership of women. I who have translated her life am called Clemence by name. I am a nun of Barking, for love of which I took this work in hand.

Born into a noble family and the youngest of ten children, she was vowed to God by her parents. At the age of eight, she joined her aunt as an enclosed nun, and a new foundation of nuns grew up around them. In Germany, she is often noted as the founder of scientific natural history. Indeed, her vast collection of works reflects this broad spread of knowledge, as she is credited with writing the oldest surviving medieval morality play, a number of medical treatises, works on botany, songs, and lyric poems. Much of her music survives, and is still performed today. She also founded two monasteries, one at Rupertsberg, in 1150, and another at Eibingen, in 1165. Hildegard suggested that she experienced her first vision from God at the age of five, and though she was initially reluctant to record her visions, she began to do so in her early forties, when she received a divine message instructing her to write down all that she saw and heard. 1. Hildegard’s Lyrics. Hildegard’s lyrics draw upon both the Bible and the language and experiences of her visions, received directly from God.

  • Saints Textual: Embodying Female Exemplarity in Spanish Literature
    Introduction Saints Textual: Embodying Female Exemplarity in Spanish Literature María Morrás también se pueden imitar los santos Teresa of Ávila, Libro de la vida, cap. 13 The interplay between gender, sanctity, and exemplarity has received little at- tention in regard to literary production in the Iberian Peninsula. However, the way they intertwined was crucial not only for the evolution of spirituality and social values in the medieval and early modern period, but also for the con- struction of the female subject and a distinct women’s literary tradition. From Hildegard of Bingen (1098–1179) right up to the seventeenth century, these three vectors upheld a model of auctoritas and authorship that in large meas- ure shaped the role and aspirations of both religious and lay women across Europe. Hence religious exemplary discourse in life-accounts mediated heavi- ly in women’s conduct, experiences, and writings. These latter subjects and their satellites—power, identity, women’s history—have provoked an ava- lanche of studies in the last half century, on religion and gender on one side and women’s writing on the other; yet comparatively few studies have explored the place of exemplarity in female literary writing, or its role in developing and shaping social and cultural identities and conduct both within and also be- yond the religious sphere.1 In the medieval and early modern period women who read or listened to pious life-accounts formed a textual community that transcended not only the walls of convents and courts, but also geographical 1 Exceptions are Aragüés Aldaz 2007, Gatland 2011, Weber 2013, and various studies by Sanmartín Bastida, specially 2012 and 2016; important also are Surtz 1995 and 2010, Piera 2019 (to keep bibliographical lists to a manageable length, references in this Introduction are by author-date; full details are to be found under “Works Cited”, pp.
