Addressed to three young sisters of gentle birth, it teaches what truly good anchoresses should and should not do, offering in its examples a glimpse of the real life women had in England in the middle ages. It is also important for its evidence for the continuation of the Anglo-Saxon tradition of prose writing, being produced in the West Midlands where Old English writing conventions continued to develop even after the Norman conquest. The \u003ci\u003eCompanion\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the cultural and historical background, the affiliations of the versions, genre, authorship and language; the various approaches also includea feminist reading of the text. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors: ROGER DAHOOD, RICHARD DANCE, A.S.G.
