Explores the relationship between the role of women in medieval literature and in the reality of the period. Finds that female characters are more often representations of medieval culture's idea of an abstract Feminine than portraits of actual women. Considers both men and women authors, especially Marie de France, Geoffrey Chaucer, Julian of Norwich, and Margery Kempe. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
