No ano de 814, Idade Média, que ficou conhecida como a Idade das Trevas, as mulheres eram impedidas de estudar, podiam ser estupradas e até mortas pelos maridos. O conhecimento estava sufocado, os países hoje conhecidos na Europa não existiam, nem os idiomas modernos. Cada região tinha o seu dialeto e a lingua culta era o latim, herdada do Império Romano, que já havia sido derrubado pelas invasões bárbaras. Foi neste período que uma mulher passou a maior parte de sua vida vestida de homem, estudou medicina, foi médica do papa e tornou-se ela mesma papisa - durante dois anos. Neste livro, Dona Woolfolk Cross pesquisou, descobriu os arquivos e achou a história transformando-a num romance, em que aventura, sexo e poder cruzam-se com maldições, guerras e heresias.

“Pope Joan has all the elements one wants in a historical drama—love, sex, violence, duplicity, and long-buried secrets. Cross has written an engaging book.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review In this international bestseller and basis for the 2009 movie of the same name, Donna Woolfolk Cross brings the Dark Ages to life in all their brutal splendor and shares the dramatic story of a woman whose strength of vision led her to defy the social restrictions of her day. For a thousand years her existence has been denied. She is the legend that will not die—Pope Joan, the ninth-century woman who disguised herself as a man and rose to become the only female ever to sit on the throne of St. Peter. Now in this riveting novel, Cross paints a sweeping portrait of an unforgettable heroine who struggles against restrictions her soul cannot accept. Brilliant and talented, young Joan rebels against medieval social strictures forbidding women to learn. When her brother is brutally killed during a Viking attack, Joan takes up his cloak—and his identity—and enters the monastery of Fulda. As Brother John Anglicus, Joan distinguishes herself as a great scholar and healer. Eventually, she is drawn to Rome, where she becomes enmeshed in a dangerous web of love, passion, and politics. Triumphing over appalling odds, she finally attains the highest office in Christendom—wielding a power greater than any woman before or since. But such power always comes at a price . . . “Brings the savage ninth century vividly to life in all its alien richness. An enthralling, scholarly historical novel.”—Rebecca Fraser, author of The Brontës

Many aspects of the pagan past continued to survive into the middle ages despite the introduction of Christianity, influencing forms of behaviour and the whole mentalitéof the period. The essays collected in this stimulating volume seek to explore aspects of the way paganism mingled with Christian teaching to affect many different aspects of medieval society, through a focus on such topics as archaeology, the afterlife and sexuality, scientific knowledge, and visionary activity.
