Received Medievalisms [electronic resource] : A Cognitive Geography of Viennese Women’s Convents /
Cyrus, C.author.
This study examines the post-medieval reception of Vienna's women's monastic institutions. Through analysis of the physical and historical place such women's institutions held in an important urban and political center, this book provides a new picture of the ways in which the medieval shapes later understandings of women's role and agency.
