The dissertation, in two parts, addresses the unique role of the anchorite in medieval society and the curious imbalance of gender representation in Europe's anchorholds. While over 600 anchorites lived during the Middle Ages, approximately 80% of them were women. This significant inequity must be attributed to more than religion, demographics, or economics. With a focus on two primary sources, this study contends that gendered circumstances added to this feminine preponderance as much as these other elements previously theorized by anchoritic scholars. The "Letter of Inquiry for Becoming an Anchoress," a 1329 church document existing in Shere, Surrey, England, provides insight into the process an individual would have taken to become an anchoress, including the vetting she endured by the bishop or his suffragan. His investigation included the determination that the woman be "not feignedly but in truth" requesting a more saintly life in the anchorhold. This wording exposes the Church's concern that a number of women affected a pious mien in order to gain entrance to the secluded residence. The Ancrene Wisse, or Guide for Anchoresses, indicates the rules the mediatrix must follow once sequestered in the hermitage. The very existence of this document reveals that some women were not ascetically inclined. They had untoward relationships, owned and held property, kept pets and livestock, taught school, gossiped, and enjoyed full social lives and an elevated communal status from within their anchorholds. The critical portion of the dissertation asserts that some used the anchorage as a secular refuge. Although their place in time precludes their being labeled feminists, these women, by extreme means, sought sovereignty in a patriarchal culture and, therefore, can be conceived as proto-feminists. This theory is the impetus for the creative portion of the dissertation, a historical novel entitled Squint. Christiana, a young girl whose limited life choices make the austere anchorhold seem a viable option, petitions the bishop for enclosure and uses her wiles to conceal a secret from her family and friends, her clergy, and the villagers she counsels.

Anchorhold is a unique collection of letters concerning Julian of Norwich’s Revelations of Divine Love, addressed to the writer herself. Through them, Kirsten Pinto Gfroerer explores the meaning of her own life and the transformation that studying and teaching this remarkable text can bring. Julian makes extreme claims about the love of God revealed in the crucified Christ. Her assertion that in love the human self can truly flourish and that in the end ‘all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well’ is a hope-filled contradiction of much modern thought. Central to her theology are a series of meditations on the face and body of Christ, which both point to God’s love and reveal something of the nature of human vocation. Gfroerer’s search for meaning in Julian’s text, eloquently expressed in this series of letters, involves the participation of her whole self, learning to inhabit the vision given to Julian. It is this search and participation that we are invited to join.

Seeking a personal prayer in every place, ANCHORHOLD refuses to let go of holiness or humanity, simultaneously clutching both. The collection introduces a half-real, half-imagined place where "a form/and beauty [are] uniquely" the individual's. Laura M. Kaminski reminds us what it is like to be what we create in the world. Like the eponymous creature of Walt Whitman's "A Noiseless Patient Spider" striving to connect the spheres with its frequent webbing, then, Kaminski's ANCHORHOLD seeks to reconnect people to their humanity and an internal divinity often overlooked. This necessary collection is an homage to small mercies, simple good deeds, and nature's abundant gifts. In every piece, Kaminski makes "time to create/one more watery Eden, one more hidden garden" worth exploring. Everyone has their secrets; everyone is scrutinized for whether or not they can be trusted. But there is hope everywhere, too-that even the "leaded glass/from your old RCA television" may become a reincarnated being, part of a miracle we are "blessed to witness." There is a holiness to ANCHORHOLD, a devotion to the domestic, disheveled, and divine alike. Life is less an anchored vessel than an unmoored, drifting one. The "anchorhold" is not sought so much as needing to be broken at times so that the figures populating Laura M. Kaminski's collection may thus reconnect elsewhere. By the finale, when we wonder, like the speaker, "if we'll be allowed to leave," we know that even when we do, we'll continue dwelling upon this re-envisioned world of what it means to be singular-what it means to be our own, sacred selves. - Cristina J. Baptista, author of THE DROWNING BOOK
