	Prodigal Daughter Project-Medieval
		Hroswitha of Gandersheim, though humble in heart, did not write in the humblest of surroundings and was able to achieve great literary accomplishments through the education and associations granted her by the Gandersheim community.
		While Hroswitha enjoyed this freedom, it should not be construed that she used or abused her vows as a daughter of the church to assure financial and intellectual freedom.
		Hroswitha's primary goals, as reflected in her preface and the content of her works was to glorify the Christian God and saints through the literary forms of pagan philosophy.

	Hroswitha of Gandersheim Criticism and Essays
		A Benedictine canoness, Hroswitha of Gandersheim is primarily known for her composition of six plays, ostensibly imitations in the style of the Roman playwright Terence, which to a degree bridge the lengthy gap between stage drama of the classical era and the later miracle and morality plays of the High Middle Ages.
		Remaining at Gandersheim throughout her life, Hroswitha lived to see the end of the tenth century and, evidence suggests, perhaps the early years of the eleventh.
		Hroswitha's highly original dramas are preceded in the second book of her collected works by a dedication to Gerberga, her Abbess at Gandersheim, and by the prose "Epistola ad quosdam sapientes huius libri fautores," a letter addressed to the "learned patrons" of her book.

	Prodigal Daughter Project-Medieval
		Hroswitha writes about the same kind of women that Terence did, however Hroswitha "doesn't borrow scene for scene" instead she "contrasts the fates and characters of her women sharply with those of Terence's: her 'imitation' or borrowing from Terence has contrast as its goal" (5).
		While Hroswitha may not have a full grasp of the complexity of Terence's poetic technique, she is able to "imitate" his devices sufficiently to extend a two-sentence passage from the saint narrative into a fully developed dramatic scene.
		For Hroswitha, Terence's comic treatment of a virgin’s rape with, in the end, the rapist Chaerea marrying his victim, Pamphilia, and the courtesan Thais retained by her preferred lover is unacceptable.

	Notable Women Circa the Year 1000 C.E. - Women in World History Curriculum
		Gandersheim was recognized as a center of intellectual and religious activity.
		A canoness could leave the convent for outside visits, thus giving Hroswitha the chance to view the world beyond the abbey, and the knowledge to create her long epic poem detailing the rule of Otto I, "the Great." She also wrote plays and poems.
		Hroswitha gave herself the title "the strong voice of Gandersheim." She said, "Sometimes I compose with great effort, again I destroyed what I had poorly written...[so that] the slight talent...given me by Heaven should not lie idle in the dark recesses of the mind and thus be destroyed by the rush of neglect."

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hroswitha
		Her extraordinary talents found here wise and judicious cultivation, first under guidance of her teacher Rikkardis, then under the special care and direction of Gerberg, a niece of Otto I and the most accomplished woman of her time, who was later to become her abbess (959-1001).
		Hroswitha shares the lot in this respect of all the poets of olden time: we are far better acquainted with her works than with her personality.
		The literary significance of Hroswitha's dramas has been expressed in a comparison which likens them to snowdrops: "In the very midst of winter they lift their white heads, but they die long ere the advent of spring, and there is none to remember them."

	Hrosvit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since 1973 Bad Gandersheim has annually awarded the Roswitha Prize, named for Hrosvit, to female writers; since 1974 the Roswitha Ring has been awarded at the close of each summer season of the Gandersheimer Domfestspiele to the outstanding actress.
		Her work shows familiarity with not only Church fathers, but also Classical poetry, including Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Plautus and Terence (on whom her verse form is modelled), and several of her plays draw on the so-called deuterocanonical gospels.
		She writes in her preface that her writing will appeal to many who are attracted by the charm of style.

		Little is known about the details of her life: she was probably a continental Saxon aristocrat who spent her entire adult life at Gandersheim Monastery, then a stronghold of the Easternising movement.
		Forgotten after the failure of the "Ottonian Renaissance" and the subsequent estrangement of East and West, she was rediscovered around 1500 by German scholars seeking their nation's literary roots and hailed as "Sappho Germanica"; the first printed edition of her works was illustrated in part by Albrecht Dürer.
		The mediæval "mystery play" tradition was still in the future, and her contemporary Liutprand of Cremona was scandalised to find religiously-themed dramas being produced in Constantinople.

	Hrotsvit
		We don't know when or where Hrotsvit was born; the fact that she was accepted at the royal abbey of Gandersheim in eastern Saxony means that she was of a noble family.
		936-973) gave the abbess of Gandersheim autonomous power, freeing the abbey of the control of prelates and secular lords (although not from the control of provosts appointed by the king); the abbess was the equivalent of a baron, with most of the rights and duties involved.
		Gandersheim was an abbey of canonesses, women who lived under a rule but who did not take permanent vows.

	Terence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Terence's popularity throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance is attested to by the numerous manuscripts containing part or all of his plays; the scholar Claudia Villa has estimated that 650 manuscripts containing Terence's work date from after 800 AD.

		It is thus clear why we can speak of imitations of the Roman metre only in rare and completely isolated cases, for example, in the case of the nun Hroswitha of Gandersheim in the tenth century.
		But even she shared the mistaken views of her age concerning the comedies of Terence, having no idea that these works were written for the stage nor indeed any conception of the dramatic art.
		The most brilliant representative of this period is the nun Hroswitha, pupil of the emperor's niece Gerberga.

		The emperor Nero, a pupil of Seneca's, may have performed some of them, however.
		Some of the drama of the Middle Ages was also of this type, such as the drama of Hroswitha of Gandersheim, or dialectical works such as The Debate of Body and Soul or the Interludium de Clerico et Puella.

		Nevertheless, occasionally individual women were able to break out of conventional patterns and to impress their contemporaries with their accomplishments.
		The nun Hroswitha of Gandersheim as a playwright, Guillemine of Bohemia as a religious leader, and Joan of Arc as a soldier proved that the female sex was not inferior even in "male" occupations.
		Medieval queens like Matilda of Scotland (wife of Henry I of England) and Philippa of Hainault (wife of Edward III of England) even exercised a considerable and very beneficial political influence.
