요약 : A range of devotional materials are associated in some way with the Syon nuns, from the rules and texts like the Myroure and the Orcherd, to devotional literature common to female religious of the period (such as Love's Mirrour and the Deuoute Tretyse Called the Tree & XII. Frutes of the Holy Gost), and to unedited texts, such as Disce Mori and Formula Noviciorum. The final chapter broadens the scope to consider several laywomen (such as Eleanor Hull, Cicely Neville, Duchess of York, Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond and Derby, Lady Margaret Hungerford, and Anna Bulkeley) and their literary and patronage associations with Syon Abbey, arguing that these women's activities demonstrate the kinds of communities devout women could form across monastic boundaries.
초록/해제  
요약 : The bulk of the dissertation is concerned with the reading practices and models espoused by the devotional texts read at Syon. I call the "conversationary" reading practices and the "confessional model of reading" those processes by which readers are encouraged to apply textual models for Christian living to their own conduct and way of life. The public, official representation of the nuns at Syon in the Myroure of Oure Ladye and the Orcherd of Syon idealise the monastic life and their women readers. The "engendered reader model" demonstrates how reading practices can exhort the reader to adopt ideals of behaviour that govern attitudes to gender, sex, class, and religious status.
초록/해제  
요약 : The devotional works associated with the Bridgettine Abbey of Syon (1415-1539) provide a focal point for the discussion of female literacy and audience in late-medieval England. The female community of Syon, the only English Bridgettine house, was an eager audience for vernacular devotional literature. This dissertation assesses the Syon female community's indirect participation in literary production (as readers, patrons, and role models) and sketches out the reading models employed in the texts read by the nuns at Syon. This project examines the influence of a particular female readership on the Middle English devotional literary tradition, arguing that it responded to (and sometimes helped shape) the changes in vernacular literacy and devotional practices that occurred in late-medieval England.
