Summary

There is much interest in the "mouvance" of a medieval text, the way different manuscripts reflect its evolution to meet changing needs. "Ancrene Riwle" (Ancrene Wisse), composed in the 13th century began as a guide for anchoresses, but served as a guide to spirituality down the Reformation.

Additional text

Scholars of the Ancrene Riwle will be grateful for Zettersten and Diensberg for this carefully executed volume and to the Early English Text Society for carrying the Ancrene Riwle project to completion
