FERRANTE, JOAN M. Woman as Image in Medieval Literature. From the Twelfth Century to Dante. New York; Columbia University Press, 1975. (6, 4 blank) + 166 pp. Publisher´s green cloth. No dustjacket. With a shadow after the price-label on front board. Very fine. ''One of the more striking features of twelfth century literature is the importance of female characters. They are not portrayed as ''real people'' with human problems; they are symbols, aspects of philosophical and psychological problems that trouble the male world. [...] The aim this study is to analyze the symbolic treatment of women in the literature of the high Middle Ages, from the twelfth century to Dante, tracing a development, where appropriate, from religious and secular works of earlier periods. Only those genres which are essentially symbolic will be considered - exegesis, allegory, lyric, and romance.'' (Introduction).
