Performance and Transformation pushes the frontiers of interpretation on mystical and ecstatic writings of the later Middle Ages to explore them as particular performances. The noteworthy contributors examine mysticism and spirituality from multiple performance perspectives: dramatic, kinesthetic, linguistic, and spatial. Emerging from recent work on ritual, performance, mysticism, and the body, the authors offer new ways of analyzing these performances and their evolution by the various modes through which they were conveyed. The emphasis on the agency of women in conveying and constructing ritual makes this work a rare find among studies of its kind.
