Ruling Women: Queenship and Gender in Anglo-Saxon Literature
Stacy S. Klein
Explores how queens functioned as imaginative figures in Anglo-Saxon texts. Focusing on pre-Conquest works, this book argues that Anglo-Saxon writers drew upon accounts of legendary royal wives to construct cultural ideals of queenship during a time when that institution was undergoing profound change.
