ref. 39931Turnhout Brepols 1999. Hardback XIV350 p. 160 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503507682. The essays in this volume examine not only the beguinage religious life in the southern Low Countries but also the impact of this movement on later medieval Sweden England and France the new modes of influence by women in their religious lives and the revivals of feminine spirituality. Was there a women's movement in the thirteenth century and is such a question meaningful in its medieval context Far from being resolved the issue of whether women had a thirteenth-century renaissance has still decisively to unsettle the periodization of Western European history in twelfth and sixteenth-century humanist renaissances. Herbert Grundmann long ago demonstrated the participation of women in the eremitically-inspired reforming movements of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and in the production of vernacular literature. Yet it is upon his work that this volume builds for the diocese of Liege is the key area in this development. It was from Liege that Jacques de Vitry approached the papacy to secure permission for the women of this bishopric of Liege France and Germany to live together and to promote holiness in each other by mutual example. The seventeen contributors to this volume examine not only the beguine religious life in the southern Low Countries but also the impact of this movement on later medieval Sweden England and France the new modes of influence exerted by women in their religious lives and the revivals of feminine spirituality in the late medieval West through to contemporary North America. Research does not yet allow for a whole new synthesis but this volume directs scholars to detailed work on specific localities and persons with an awareness of the problems and possibilities of wider European comparisons.
