The literary subversions of medieval women[electronic resource] /Jane Chance. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2007. - xiii, 215 p. - New Middle Ages. - New Middle Ages (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)).

Includes bibliographical references (p. [179]-198) and index.

The Discursive Strategies of the Marginalized -- St. Agnes and the Emperor's Daughter in Hrotsvit of Gandersheim: Feminizing the Founding of the Early Roman Church -- Marie de France Versus King Arthur: Lanval's Gender Inversion as Breton Subversion -- Marguerite Porete's Annihilation of the Character Reason in Her Fantasy of an Inverted Church -- Unhomely Margery Kempe and St. Catherine ofSiena: Comownycacyon and Conversacyon as Homily -- Toward a Minor Literature: Julian of Norwich's Annihilation of Original Sin.

This study of medieval women as postcolonial writers defines the literary strategies of subversion by which they authorized their alterity within the dominant tradition. To dismantle a colonizing culture, they made public the private feminine space allocated by gender difference: they constructed ?unhomely? spaces. They inverted gender roles of characters to valorize the female; they created alternate idealized feministsocieties and cultures, or utopias, through fantasy; and they legitimized female triviality?the homely female space?to provide autonomy. While these methodologies often overlapped in practice, they illustrate howcultures impinge on languages to create what Deleuze and Guattari haveidentified as a minor literature, specifically for women as dis-placed. Women writers discussed include Hrotsvit of Gandersheim, Hildegard ofBingen, Marie de France, Marguerite Porete, Catherine of Siena, Margery Kempe, Julian of Norwich, and Christine de Pizan.
