With glosses, annotations, and new translations of Latin texts the editors bring fresh light to bear on Roper’s work. In doing so, they confirm the shift from a hagiographical emphasis on her as dutiful and devoted daughter to an appraisal of her achievements as scholar and translator. From a wider perspective, they offer an objective picture of what it meant to have been a “well-learned gentlewoman” in early Tudor England, and what it has meant since to have become an iconic figure within and beyond its shores."</div> </blockquote> <p class="blockquote-review-attribution">Brenda M.
