This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the significant contributions made by England's queens, noblewomen, and mothers of all social classes to the development of English literature. Beginning with the early Christianization of Britain, the author argues that the introduction of religious education into England was largely due to the influence of pious and learned women such as Claudia Rufina. This book goes on to detail how, throughout the Middle Ages, women's patronage and financial support of religious institutions ensured the continuation of intellectual pursuits. Moreover, the author suggests that the education of England's upper-class sons was largely in the hands of their mothers until they were old enough to begin their military training, and that the moral values instilled by their mothers contributed to England's reputation for valor and military prowess. The author concludes by emphasizing that these women made England a beacon of learning in Europe and beyond, fostering an environment in which many of England's most notable scholars, scientists, statesmen, and literary figures were able to flourish.
