Books by Nancy Bradley Warren

Adopts a comparative, boundary-crossing approach to consider one of the most canonical of literary figures, Geoffrey Chaucer. This book breaks new ground by considering Chaucer's Continental interests as they inform his participation in religious debates concerning such subjects as female spirituality and Lollardy.

Explores the topic of female spirituality. Through her analyses of the variety of ways in which medieval spirituality was deliberately and actively carried forward to the early modern period, Nancy Bradley Warren underscores both continuities and revisions that challenge conventional distinctions between medieval and early modern culture.

Warren explores the political dimensions of the religious practices of women in the later medieval and early modern periods, from St. Colette of Corbie to Isabel of Castile to English nuns exiled during the reign of Elizabeth I.
