Trade Review
"There is no equivalent study of female sanctity in Wales in the English language...[and this book] will make a real contribution to a number of debates in British, European and North American scholarship[...]. The author now has an established reputation as the leading scholar (I would say in the world) in the field of female spirituality in medieval Wales." Professor Diane Watt, Department of English, University of Wales Aberystwyth.
