The Ancrene Wisse is a spiritual guide for female recluses, written at the request of three anchoresses who were voluntarily enclosed for life within small cells. Georgianna analyzes this complex and skillfully composed treatise and examines its detailed portrayal of the rich, alternately rewarding and frustrating inner life of the solitary.
