Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Featuring the first English translation of Ava's poetry, this collection highlights the work of the pioneering German poetess, the first known woman to write in a European language. Comprising five early German poems, the longest retells the gospel story of Jesus, while others explore themes such as John the Baptist, the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit, the Antichrist, and the Last Judgment. Ava's significant contributions have largely been neglected in the narratives of German literature and Christian spirituality, making this collection a valuable rediscovery.
