Medeival Woman,
This review is from: Chaucer and the Jews (Multicultural Middle Ages) (Hardcover)
While one would never expect to find steam rolling off the pages of a text centered on medieval history, author Sheila Delany accomplishes to climax the topic for even the most uninitiated reader. Her descriptions of Hildegard of Bingen's sordid visions created a miasmic hellfire in my loins. Since when has one been so wholly transported into the visceral milieu of the medieval era?
