Book Synopsis A Companion to Hrotsvit of Gandersheim (fl. 960) by : Phyllis R. Brown
Book excerpt: Hrotsvit wrote stories, plays, and histories during the reign of Emperor Otto the Great (962-973). 12 original essays survey her work, showing historical roots and contexts, Christian values, and a surprisingly modern grappling with questions of identity and female self-realization.
