Bringing together the work of both leading and emerging scholars in
the field of medieval gender studies, the essays in Rivalrous
Masculinities advance our understanding of medieval masculinity as
a pluralized category and as an intersectional category of gender.
The essays in this volume are distinguished by a conceptual focus
that goes beyo nd heteronormativity and by their attention to
constructions of medieval masculinity in the context of femininity,
class, religion, and place. Some widen the field of medieval gender
studies inquiry to include explorations of medieval friendship as a
framework or culture of arousal and deep emotionality that produced
multiple, complex ways of living intensely with respect to gender
and sexuality, without reducing all forms of intimacy to implicit
sexuality. Some examine intersections of identity, explicating
change and difference in conventional modes of gender with regards
to regional culture, religion, race, or class. In order to ground
this intersectional and interdisciplinary approach with the
appropriate disciplinary expertise, the essays in this volume
represent a broad cross-section of disciplines: art history,
religious studies, history, and French, Italian, German, Yiddish,
Middle English, and Old English literature. Together, they open up
new intellectual vistas for future research in the field of
medieval gender studies. Contributors include: Ann Marie Rasmussen,
Clare A. Lees, Gillian R. Overing, J. Christian Straubhaar-Jones,
Astrid Lembke, Darrin Cox, F. Regina Psaki, Corinne Wieben, Ruth
Mazo Karras, Diane Wolfthal, Karma Lochrie, and Andreas Krass.
