Mary Dockray-Miller (born 1965) is an American scholar of Anglo-Saxon England, best known for her work on gender in the Anglo-Saxon period. She has published on female saints, on Beowulf, and on religious women.[1] She teaches at Lesley University, where she is professor of English. Dockray-Miller is the author of Motherhood and Mothering in Anglo-Saxon England (St. Martin's Press, 2000), which utilized postmodern gender theory (the work of Judith Butler, Luce Irigaray, and others) to reinvestigate historical elements, such as double houses and Anglo-Saxon religious women, and literature, including Beowulf. At the time, it was "the first and only monograph on motherhood to appear in Anglo-Saxon studies".[2] The book received a fair amount of attention from reviewers, though opinions were mixed, one reviewer stating that "her historical analyses, however, are unsatisfying and problematic" and that Dockray-Miller too easily conflates patriarchy with heroic society.[2] On the other hand, a reviewer in Speculum praised the book as "well argued and an important contribution to women's studies and Anglo-Saxon scholarship".[3] One reviewer pointed out flaws and strengths: "Yet such problematic moments [renaming Grendel's Mother "the seawulf", and excluding Elene and Mary from her discussion of mothers] are offset by the books more sustained strengths: an exciting and original topic whose exploration raises awareness of motherhood in an early culture, and a persuasive thesis that is supported by fascinating historical analysis."[4] Her chapter on mothers in Beowulf was considered "intriguing and persuasive" by one reviewer, but with the caveat that the conclusion on the politics of motherhood was "sketchy".[5] Her most recent monograph is Saints Edith and Æthelthryth: Princesses, Miracle Workers, and their Late Medieval Audience (Brepols, 2009).[6] She has published numerous journal articles is a contributor to the Historical Dictionary of Women's Education in the United States (Greenwood, 1998).[7] References1. ^{{cite journal|last=Acker|first=Paul|year=2006|title=Horror and the Maternal in "Beowulf"|journal=PMLA|volume=121|issue=3|pages=702–16|doi=10.1632/003081206x142832|jstor=25486349}} 2. ^{{cite journal|last=Stafford|first=Pauline|year=2001|title=Rev. of Dockray-Miller, Motherhood and Mothering in Anglo-Saxon England|journal=Albion|volume=33|issue=3|pages=430–32|doi=10.2307/4053202|jstor=4053202}} 3. ^{{cite journal|last=French|first=Katherine L.|year=2002|title=Rev. of Dockray-Miller, Motherhood and Mothering in Anglo-Saxon England|journal=Speculum|location=1|volume=77|pages=164–65|doi=10.2307/2903816|jstor=2903816}} 4. ^1 {{cite journal|last=Klein|first=Stacy S.|year=2002|title=Rev. of Dockray-Miller, Motherhood and Mothering in Anglo-Saxon England|journal=Arthuriana|volume=12|issue=3|pages=124–26|jstor=27870460|doi=10.1353/art.2002.0076}} 5. ^{{cite journal|last=Atkinson|first=Clarissa|year=2001|title=Rev. of Dockray-Miller, Motherhood and Mothering in Anglo-Saxon England|journal=The American Historical Review|volume=106|issue=2|page=628|doi=10.2307/2651726|jstor=2651726}} 6. ^{{cite journal|last=Gretsch|first=Mechthild|title=Rev. of Dockray-Miller|journal=English Historical Review|volume=CXXVI|issue=518|pages=121–22|url=http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/content/CXXVI/518/121.extract|doi=10.1093/ehr/ceq438}} 7. ^{{cite journal|last=Schwartz|first=Paula|date=July–Sep 2002|title="Women's Studies, Gender Studies": Le contexte américain|journal=Vingtième Siècle.
