All are in one way or another reflections on the book's chosen title and of her remarkable range of interests and sympathies. In assembling the group of scholars who have written these essays, the editors are profoundly aware that Liesbeth has influenced so many people as friends, colleagues, and students. We hope that all will regard this volume as an appropriate tribute to her"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 01, 2021) Subject Women -- England -- History -- Middle Ages, 500-1500 Women -- France -- History -- Middle Ages, 500-1500 Identity (Psychology) -- History -- To 1500 Identification (Religion) -- History -- To 1500 Literature, Medieval -- History and criticism.
