eBook (EPUB)

Hrotsvitha’s prayers are interrupted by a vision of woman, Christopher Marie St. John, who is translating her dramas a thousand years in the future. In the vision, Hrotsvitha becomes aware that the woman has become demoralized and she has stopped working. Her original manuscript was destroyed by fire during the Easter Rising in Dublin.
Hrotsvitha becomes very angry and lectures her future translator about how war is used to distract women from focusing on the great secret for liberation, which is the secret text of all her plays. Revealing the secret, she exorts Christopher to start over, again and again, if necessary to transmit this radical message.
