{"product_id":"willetrudis-verses-about-susanna-abbe-walker-9781967785094","title":"Willetrudis. Verses about Susanna: Latin Text with Running Vocabulary and Commentary","description":"Willetrudis was a nun, perhaps an abbess, who likely lived in twelfth-century England. Her \u003ci\u003edē Sūsannā\u003c\/i\u003e is an original and at times defiant retelling of the biblical story of Susanna in hexameter verse. Pushing back against an interpretive tradition that had increasingly come to emphasize Susanna's physical beauty, Willetrudis centers her narrative on Susanna's voice and her virtuous resistance. Willetrudis addresses the poem to her \u003ci\u003esorōrēs\u003c\/i\u003e, her fellow nuns, which means that with \u003ci\u003edē Sūsannā\u003c\/i\u003e, we have something distinctive in the medieval period: a Latin poem written by a woman, about a woman, for women. This edition presents the Latin text of \u003ci\u003edē Sūsannā\u003c\/i\u003e along with a running vocabulary and commentary, as well as the first-ever translation of the work into English.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abbe Walker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1967785090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781967785094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pixelia Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.33d","brand":"Abbe Walker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659862552831,"sku":"9781967785094","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/willetrudis-verses-about-susanna-abbe-walker-9781967785094","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
