Martha Newman has published two essays this fall in addition to her monograph. (Listen to an interview with Newman on her book.) “Defining blasphemy in medieval Europe: Christian theology, law, and practice,” appeared in Blasphemies Compared: Transgressive Speech in a Globalized World, edited by Anne Stensvold (Routledge, 2021).

The other “The Benedictine Rule and the Narrow Path: The Place of the Charter of Charity in the Exordium Magnum and other late twelfth-century Cistercian texts,” appeared in La Charte de charité: un document pour présever l’unité enters les communautés edited by Éric Delaissé (Cerf,2020). Both volumes initially developed in international conferences, one in Oslo, Norway, the other in Paris, France.
In addition, her essay “Assigned Female at Death: Joseph of Schönau and the Disruption of Medieval Gender Binaries,” will appear this spring in Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography, edited by Blake Gutt and Alicia Spencer-Hall. Amsterdam University Press.
