About twenty-five years ago, God revealed to me that he would bring judgment, restoration, hope, and encouragement to his people. After prayer, I drew a picture in my Bible and didn't think much of it, a drawing that clearly reveals a woman writing with a pen on a tablet. Many years later, I came across that same drawing but this time, God's purpose manifested itself. It was at this point, that I began to write. Within the pages of this book, you will find the mind of God revealed and his purpose for our lives. In the words of her brother and Pastor Alberto Ortiz Jr., "You will be amazed how God has inspired the author to write. He fills her mind with words that flow from her fingers -onto paper- and into your heart. Who knew the plans God had for that little girl, who once found reading and writing so difficult? A little girl who was destined to grow up and become an author for the Almighty God.
This new collection of essays brings together brand new research on widowhood in medieval and early modern Europe. The volume opens with an introductory chapter by the Editors which looks generally at the conditions and constructions of widowhood in this period. This is followed by a range of essays which illuminate different dimensions of widowhood across Europe - in England, Italy, France, Germany and Spain. A particular attraction of the volume is the attention given to widowers, and the comparisons made between the male and female experience of widowhood. It is an exciting reinterpretation of the subject which will do much to undo the traditional stereotype of the widow. Contributing to the volume are: Jodi Bilinkoff, Giulia Calvi, Sandra Cavallo, Isabelle Chabot, Julia Crick, Amy Erikson, Dagmar Freist, Elizabeth Foyster, Margaret Pelling, Pamela Sharpe,Tim Stretton, Barbara Todd, and Lyndan Warner.
