Przestrzenie graniczne w The Ancrene Wisse

Historyczne studia nad kobietami żyjącymi w małych, odizolowanych wspólnotach w czasach pełnego średniowiecza wzbudziły zainteresowanie literaturą formacyjną powstałą w tym okresie. Trzynastowieczny tekst Ancrene Wisse, opisując kobiecą potrzebę odosobnienia, jednocześnie poświęca dużo uwagi służącym, które towarzyszyły swoim paniom w ich religijnej izolacji, pozostając ogniwem łączącym je ze światem zewnętrznym. Niniejszy esej omawia sposób, w jaki Ancrene Wisse, ustanawiając reguły izolacji religijnych kobiet, jednocześnie wykazuje dużą wyrozumiałość względem obecności służby. Ta dwoistość czyni z niego osobliwy tekst dialogiczny.
