Middle-Aged Women in the Middle Ages
Sue Niebrzydowski (ed)
The
phenomenon of medieval women's middle age is a stage in the lifecycle
that has been frequently overlooked in preference for the examination of
female youth and old age. The essays collected here, ranging from the
Anglo-Saxon to the late medieval period, and drawing variously from
literary studies, history, law, art and theology, address this lacuna.
Taking a variety of critical approaches, the contributors consider
medieval definitions, paradigms and experiences of female middle age,
analysing how the middle-aged woman perceived herself subjectively, as
well as how she was perceived by others. They seek to challenge the
received wisdom that in the middle ages, at forty, women were deemed
"old" and, from that point onwards, their thoughts should be focused on
preparing for death. On the contrary, this collection demonstrates their
energy, defiance and wit.
