Claire Taylor Jones

Ruling the Spirit

Women, Liturgy, and Dominican Reform in Late Medieval Germany

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Ruling the Spirit, Claire Taylor Jones revises the narrative of women's involvement in the German Dominican order arguing that Dominican women did not lose their piety and literacy in the fifteenth century, as is commonly believed but, instead, were encouraged to reframe their practice around the observance of the Divine Office.
