Medieval Memory, Urban Space, and Women’s Agency in Vienna

C. Cyrus examines how Vienna’s women’s monastic institutions were understood after the medieval period, treating their buildings, histories, and place within the city as part of a larger cultural record. The study connects physical location with political and urban significance, asking how inherited ideas of the medieval past shape later conceptions of women’s roles and agency. With its emphasis on reception and historical geography, the book situates convents not only as religious institutions but also as enduring sites through which Vienna’s past has been interpreted.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Scholars and students of medievalism and reception studies
  • Readers researching women’s religious communities and women’s agency
  • Those interested in Vienna’s urban, political, and cultural history

Book overview

This study examines the post-medieval reception of Vienna's women's monastic institutions. Through analysis of the physical and historical place such women's institutions held in an important urban and political center, this book provides a new picture of the ways in which the medieval shapes later understandings of women's role and agency.
