Already famous—and infamous—during her lifetime, the plays by Canoness Roswitha of Gandersheim Abbey—one of the most significant female writers of the Middle Ages—remain as humorous and empowering today as ever.

Ursel Schardinel offers an insightful guide to Roswitha’s life, work, and the myths surrounding her. In a relaxed atmosphere, selected scenes from the plays are read aloud with assigned roles—or you can simply listen to the texts and stories from a fascinating era.
