Francis of Assisi and the Feminine

This book is an English translation of Francesco: un passagio. Donna e donne negli scritti e nelle leggende di Francesco d'Assisi. Jacques Dalarun delivers a tight analysis of Francis and his biographers that, in any way whatsoever, touch on aspects and instances of his attitude towards women and femininity, or even better, use categories that can be defined as feminine. Thus he succeeds in grasping, plumbing the depths of, and finding new ways of expressing the fundamental dimension of Francis's experience accurately.
