Sexuality is one of the most influential factors in human life. The
responses to and reflections upon the manifestations of sexuality
provide fascinating insights into fundamental aspects of medieval
and early-modern culture. This interdisciplinary volume with
articles written by social historians, literary historians,
musicologists, art historians, and historians of religion and
mental-ity demonstrates how fruitful collaborative efforts can be
in the exploration of essential features of human society.
Practically every aspect of culture both in the Middle Ages and the
early modern age was influenced and determined by sexuality, which
hardly ever surfaces simply characterized by prurient interests.
The treatment of sexuality in literature, chronicles, music, art,
legal documents, and in scientific texts illuminates central
concerns, anxieties, tensions, needs, fears, and problems in human
society throughout times.
