Description
First published in 1996, this study offers a range of approaches to medieval undertanding of mothering and the uses to which the practice of mothering could be assumed by females and males alike. In 19 original essays, medical and literary sources investigate the biologistics of maternity which were often replaced by images of nurturing mothers.
