Received Medievalisms: A Cognitive Geography of Viennese Women's Convents

by Cynthia J. Cyrus

Book Overview

This study examines the post-medieval reception of Vienna's women's monastic institutions. Through analysis of the physical and historical place such women's institutions held in an important urban and political center, this book provides a new picture of the ways in which the medieval shapes later understandings of women's role and agency.
