Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Willetrudis was a nun, perhaps an abbess, who likely lived in twelfth-century England. Her de Susanna is an original and at times defiant retelling of the biblical story of Susanna in hexameter verse. Pushing back against an interpretive tradition that had increasingly come to emphasize Susanna's physical beauty, Willetrudis centers her narrative on Susanna's voice and her virtuous resistance. Willetrudis addresses the poem to her sorores, her fellow nuns, which means that with de Susanna, we have something distinctive in the medieval period: a Latin poem written by a woman, about a woman, for women. This edition presents the Latin text of de Susanna along with a running vocabulary and commentary, as well as the first-ever translation of the work into English.…
