| Zusammenfassung: | Rebecca Krug argues that in the later Middle Ages, people defined themselves in terms of family relationships but increasingly saw their social circumstances as being connected to the written word. Complex family dynamics and social configurations motivated women to engage in text-based activities. Although not all or even the majority of women could read and write, it became natural for women to think of writing as a part of everyday life.Reading Families looks at the literate practice of two individual women, Margaret Paston and Margaret Beaufort, and of two communities in which women were central, the Norwich Lollards and the Bridgettines at Syon Abbey. The book begins with Paston's letters, which were written at her husband's request, and ends with devotional texts that describe the spiritual daughterhood of the Bridgettine readers.Scholars often assume that medieval women's participation in literate culture constituted a rejection of patriarchal authority. Krug maintains, however, that for most women learning to engage with the written word served as a practical response to social changes and was not necessarily a revolutionary act |

Jul 2019) Rebecca Krug argues that in the later Middle Ages, people defined themselves in terms of family relationships but increasingly saw their social circumstances as being connected to the written word. Complex family dynamics and social configurations motivated women to engage in text-based activities. Although not all or even the majority of women could read and write, it became natural for women to think of writing as a part of everyday life.Reading Families looks at the literate practice of two individual women, Margaret Paston and Margaret Beaufort, and of two communities in which women were central, the Norwich Lollards and the Bridgettines at Syon Abbey. The book begins with Paston's letters, which were written at her husband's request, and ends with devotional texts that describe the spiritual daughterhood of the Bridgettine readers.Scholars often assume that medieval women's participation in literate culture constituted a rejection of patriarchal authority. Krug maintains, however, that for most women learning to engage with the written word served as a practical response to social changes and was not necessarily a revolutionary act In English Beaufort, Margaret 1443-1509 (DE-588)119277085 gnd rswk-swf The Paston letters (DE-588)4185020-8 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1400-1450 gnd rswk-swf Gender Studies LITERARY CRITICISM / Medieval bisacsh English literature Women authors History and criticism English literature Middle English, 1100-1500 History and criticism Women and literature England History To 1500 Women Books and reading England History To 1500 Schriftstellerin (DE-588)4053311-6 gnd rswk-swf Lollarden (DE-588)4168134-4 gnd rswk-swf Frauenliteratur (DE-588)4113622-6 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 gnd rswk-swf Mittelenglisch (DE-588)4039676-9 gnd rswk-swf Norwich (DE-588)4042643-9 gnd rswk-swf Norwich (DE-588)4042643-9 g Lollarden (DE-588)4168134-4 s Schriftstellerin (DE-588)4053311-6 s Geschichte 1400-1450 z 1\p DE-604 Mittelenglisch (DE-588)4039676-9 s Frauenliteratur (DE-588)4113622-6 s Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 s 2\p DE-604 Beaufort, Margaret 1443-1509 (DE-588)119277085 p The Paston letters (DE-588)4185020-8 u 3\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.7591/9781501731822 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
