Queer Love in the Middle Ages (Hardcover, 2005 ed.)

Queer Love in the Middle Ages points out queer themes in the works of the French canon, including "Perceval," "Romance of the Rose, " and "Roman d'Eneas." It brings out less known works that prominently feature same-sex themes: Yde and Olive, a romance with a cross-dressed heroine who marries a princess; and many others. The book combines an interest in contemporary French theory (Kristeva, Barthes, psychoanalysis) with a close reading of medieval texts. It discusses important recent publications in pre-modern queer studies in the US. It is the first major contribution to queer studies in medieval French literature.
