"Perhaps because well educated women formed a large part of the audience of early Germanic literature, it was quite sympathetic to them. God's Handwork offers a guide to the images of women in this literature. Focusing on the vernacular writings of Anglo-Saxon England and other Germanic territories in the same era, he discovers that many of these literary women were romanesque' abstractions and not meant to represent actual people.
