Excerpt from The Non-Dramatic Works of Hrosvitha: Text, Translation, and Commentary; Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Saint Louis University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
The dramas of the Nun of Gandersheim have brought her well-merited fame, and their reproduction upon the modern stage has met with some success. Yet her legends and epics, charming and unique as they are in their very simplicity, have been allowed to pass into oblivion, at least by English and American scholars. Hence arose my interest in her non-dramatic works. Added to this is the considera tion that Hrosvitha is but another product of those dark ages, an epithet which modern prejudice has, until of late, undeservedly bestowed upon all or portions of the mediaeval era.
