Women's Works - Donald W Foster - Bog

WOMEN'S WORKS is simply breathtaking. Not in its concept - we have long needed, and said we have needed, a thorough anthology of the best writing of Medieval and Renaissance English women ... - but in its execution. Foster has gone (as others have not) to every manuscript systematically. He has worked out stemma, textual variants, and the like. And he has prepared, for the first time, a work that is authoritative and comprehensive, complete and final. It will not, because it cannot, be superseded." (Review)
