Ranging historically from the difficulties of localizing Anglo-Saxon pastoral texts tothe reading of women in late-medieval England, the individual essays survey its development and its transformation into the literature of vernacular spirituality. They offer both close examinations of particular manuscripts, and of individual texts, including an anonymous \u003ci\u003eSpeculum iuniroum\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eSpeculum religiosorum\u003c\/i\u003e of Edmund of Abingdon and later vernacular compositions and translations, such as \u003ci\u003eHandlyng Synne\u003c\/i\u003e and Bonaventure's \u003ci\u003eLignum Vitae\u003c\/i\u003e. The reading and devotional use of texts by women and solitaries is also considered. They therefore form an appropriate tribute to the work of Bella Millett, whose research has done so much to advance our knowledge of the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Contributors: Alexandra Barratt, Mishtooni Bose, Joseph Goering, Brian Golding, C.
