"This volume investigates the diverse meanings assigned to and adopted by lay religious
women in northern Europe between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. While many
outstanding studies have unearthed the local or regional significance of such women,
little comparative or transregional scholarship exists to date. Moreover, traditional
emphasis on medieval ecclesiastical condemnation of beguines has obscured the extent
to which their communities were intertwined with supportive local structures. Exploring
the multiplicity of contemporary perspectives in the Belgian, Dutch, French, and German
contexts over time, the volume traces not only the women's relationships to various
authorities and institutions, but also the specific terms used to represent and respond
to "beguines." Illuminating the kaleidoscopic ways in which medieval people categorized,
described, and engaged with such women, the collected essays also underscore the extent
to which simple dualities of "clerical" and "lay," "elite" and "popular," and "orthodox"
and "heretical" are insufficient constructs with which to map intersections of medieval
gender, lay religiosity, and society. In doing so, they propose new avenues and coordinates
for exploring the sociospiritual topography of medieval Europe"
