An examination of the erotic in medieval literature which includes
articles on the role of clothing and nudity, the tension between
eroticism and transgression and religion and the erotic. This
volume examines the erotic in the literature of medieval Britain,
primarily in Middle English, but also in Latin, Welsh and Old
French. Seeking to discover the nature of the erotic and how it
differs from modern erotics, thecontributors address topics such as
the Wife of Bath's opinions on marital eroticism, the role of
clothing and nudity, the tension between eroticism and
transgression, the interplay between religion and the erotic, and
the hedonistic horrors of the cannibalistic Giant of Mont St
Michel. Contributors: ALEX DAVIS, SIMON MEECHAM-JONES, JANE BLISS,
