Corinne Saunders is Professor of Medieval Literature at the Department of English Studies, University of Durham.
A fine example of how a new generation of historians are
approaching the field of legal history... what is really new here
is the ways in which all of the authors approach the history of the
law: they use some decidedly non-legal texts to examine legal
history; they bring together historical and literary sources; and
they debunk the view that medieval laws had little to say about
women or that medieval women had little legal agency.

Its wide-ranging and inter-disciplinary approach to source material
throws new light on medieval women living their lives within the
framework of the law and legal attitudes.
