Books by Diane Watt

The Paston letters viewed in the context of medieval women's writing and medieval letter writing.

An exploration of the relations between medical and religious discourse and practice in medieval culture, focussing on how they are affected by gender.

This volume focuses on women's literary history in Britain between 700 and 1500. It brings to the fore a wide range of women's literary activity undertaken in Latin, Welsh and Anglo-Norman alongside that of the English vernacular, demanding a rethinking of the traditions of literary history, and ultimately the concept of 'writing' itself.
