The Garden of Delights Reform and Renaissance for Women in the Twelfth Century Fiona J. Griffiths Winner of the 2007 Frank S. and Elizabeth D. Brewer Prize of the American Society of Church History Winner of the 2008 Margaret Wade Labarge Prize from the Canadian Society of Medievalists "A major contribution to the history of medieval women and religion. . . . Learned and fascinating."--American Historical Review "Writing a book about one of the most complex books ever assembled is no easy task, yet Griffiths rises to the occasion. . . . In her treatment of the manuscript, and more important, its maker, a forceful new picture of twelfth-century female monasticism emerges, one that is far less passive than that to which we have allowed ourselves to become accustomed. This work will be widely and warmly received by medievalists everywhere."--Jeffrey Hamburger, Harvard University Fiona J. Griffiths teaches history at New York University.
