Hall Learning and Literacy Outside the Convent: Early Middle English Women Readers and the Ancrene Wisse 1904 .txt text/plain 475 13 32 This study builds on previous scholarship but goes beyond it in close textual and codicological analysis to argue for a greater Latinity and participation in manuscript culture by thirteenth century anchoritic readers of the Ancrene Wisse than has been demonstrated before in the scholarship.
