  • Gender and Class in the Circulation of Conduct Books

    Open AccessKathleen AshleyCHAPTERWomen and Medieval Literary Culture2023

    This essay focuses on what may seem an ideologically narrow genre: the conduct book, offering a broad and complex interpretation of the texts and their place in medieval culture.

Louis IXߣs Enseignemenz (Teachings), by contrast, pro…

  • Cultures of Devotion

    Kathleen AshleyCHAPTERThe Oxford Handbook of Women and…2012

    Cultures of devotion in multiple forms were central to medieval lives, and because of their significance they became sites for defining and negotiating gender identities and issues. The essay first examines whether participation in communal rituals and popular devotion was open to women as well as to men. A second issue was the availability of membership for women in the religious orders, and a third was the relationship between male religious au…

    Kathleen Ashley, Wim HüskenBOOKMoving Subjects2001Cited by: 4

    Procession, arguably the most ubiquitous and versatile public performance mode until the seventeenth century, has received little scholarly or theoretical attention. Yet, this form of social behaviour has been so thoroughly naturalised in our accounts of western European history that it merited little comment as a cultural performance choice over many centuries until recently, when a generation of cultural historians using explanatory models from…
