The early thirteenth-century guide for women recluses, Ancrene Wisse is one of the major works of early Middle English prose, and an important document in the history of European pastoral literature. This new edition, based on the full manuscript evidence, sets it in its broader cultural and institutional context. Volume II will be published in 2006.
