A Companion to Ancrene Wisse
Ancrene Wisse introduced through a variety of cultural and critical approaches which establish the originality and interest of the treatise.
Ancrene Wisse
Ancrene Wisse or the Anchoresses Guide (Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 402), written sometime roughly between 1225 and 1240, represents a revision of an earlier work, usually called the Ancrene Riwle or Anchorites' Rule, a book of religious instruction for three lay women of noble birth.

Bibliography of prose works offering unique evidence for the nature of women's religious experience in medieval England, with scholarly introduction.
The Ancrene Riwle
Translation of the Middle English manual "Ancrene Riwle" ("Rule for Anchoresses"), which was composed between 1225 and 1240 for the spiritual instruction of women. This edition contains an introduction by Dom Gerard Sitwell and a preface by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Anchoritic Spirituality
Sometime in the first quarter of the 13th century a number of works were written for anchoresses, women who lived as religious recluses in cells adjoining churches. The most influential is Ancrene Wisse (A Guide for Anchoresses), which discusses in great detail the daily life of the anchoress, both outer and inner. This work gives a detailed sense of a powerful and multi-faceted spirituality different from that of other mystics.
Ancrene Wisse
An introduction to 'Ancrene Wisse', one of the most important works in English of the 13th century. It offers a new contextualisation which engages with the history of lay piety and vernacular spirituality in the Middle Ages.
