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. Amanda Hopkins teaches in the Department of English and
Comparative Literary Studies and the department of French at the
University of Warwick. Cory James Rushton is in the Department of
English at St. Francis Xavier University, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Contributors: Anthony Bale, Jane Bliss, Michael Cichon, Thomas H.
Crofts III, Alex Davis, Kristina Hildebrand, Amanda Hopkins,Simon
Meecham-Jones, Sue Niebrzydowski, Margaret Robson, Robert Rouse,
