A Companion to Hrotsvit of Gandersheim (fl. 960): Contextual and Interpretive Approaches (Brill's Companions to the Christian Tradition)

Hrotsvit wrote stories, plays, and histories during the reign of Emperor Otto the Great (962-973). Twelve original essays survey her work, showing historical roots and contexts, Christian values, and a surprisingly modern grappling with questions of identity and female self-realization.
