Trade Review
'This well-prepared edition is a valuable contribution to the study of women's literature and religious literature in medieval Spain.' (Modern Language Review, 94.3, 1999)
'. . . A text of considerable interest and significance . . . It is interesting to observe how, perceptibly, as modern scholarly editions make available the writings of such women, our knowledge of the contours of the learning, literary culture and writing of late-medieval women-particularly of the mystics and visionaries-grows, alters, and comes into focus.' (Mystics Quarterly, Volume 24 No. 4, December 1998)
