Rediscover the brilliance of Hrotsvitha, also known as Roswitha of Gandersheim, the first female playwright of the medieval period. "The Plays of Roswitha of Gandersheim" presents her collection of Christian dramas, originally written in Latin, now accessible in English translation. This collection offers a unique glimpse into the world of religious plays during the early Middle Ages.
