Louise D'Arcens and Juanita Feros Ruys (Turnhout: Brepols), pp. 317-334. ["Jenkins first debates the fascinating possibility of a cultural memory, a number of shared common norms, conventions, and practices that would link the otherwise non-contiguous reading experiences of medieval and contemporary women. Drawing on the results of modern romance studies, she wonders if the otherwise forbidden self-realization of women through the reading of romances could not also be the cause of the popularity of vernacular devotional literature among high-status women in the Middle Ages. In the end, however, she considers the sobering possibility that she might have accepted the results of modern romance studies precisely because of her (formerly unrecognized) investment in attributing some form of resistance to the medieval women readers of devotional texts."

["Jenkins first debates the fascinating possibility of a cultural memory, a number of shared common norms, conventions, and practices that would link the otherwise non-contiguous reading experiences of medieval and contemporary women. Drawing on the results of modern romance studies, she wonders if the otherwise forbidden self-realization of women through the reading of romances could not also be the cause of the popularity of vernacular devotional literature among high-status women in the Middle Ages. In the end, however, she considers the sobering possibility that she might have accepted the results of modern romance studies precisely because of her (formerly unrecognized) investment in attributing some form of resistance to the medieval women readers of devotional texts."
