Across historical periods and genres, this dialogue has been employed to articulate and debate questions of politics and religion, social and cultural change as well as issues of power and authority within the family.Åströmseeks to investigate the many functions and meanings of the dialogue by covering extensive material from the 1200s to 2014 including hagiography, romances, folktales, plays, novels, children's literature and graphic novels, as well as film and television. This is achieved by looking at the discourse both as products of the time and culture that produced the various narratives, and as part of an on-going cultural conversation that spans the centuries, resulting in an innovative text that will be of great interest to all scholars of gender, feminist and media studies. 000867812 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed July 26, 2017). 000867812 650_0 $$aAbsentee mothers$$xHistory. 000867812 650_0 $$aEnglish literature$$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$$xHistory and criticism. 000867812 650_0 $$aEnglish poetry$$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$$xHistory and criticism. 000867812 852__ $$bebk 000867812 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-49037-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000867812 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:867812$$pGLOBAL_SET 000867812 980__ $$aEBOOK 000867812 980__ $$aBIB 000867812 982__ $$aEbook 000867812 983__ $$aOnline 000867812 994__ $$a92$$bISE
