| Abstract | 2015 marks the 80th anniversary of the first publication of Herbert Grundmann's monumental study Religious Movements in the Middle Ages and the 20th anniversary of its translation into English. Part of a strand exploring the origins and impact of Grundmann's historiographical legacy, this session investigates the dynamic and variable interactions between lay/religious women and clergy during the later Middle Ages. Of particular interest are the strategies through which each utilized ideas about beguines to forward institutional interests. |
