Transcending both academic disciplines and traditional categories
of analysis, this collection illustrates the ways genders and
sexualities could be constructed, subverted and transformed.
Focusing on areas such as literature, hagiography, history, and art
history, from the Anglo-Saxon period to the early sixteenth
century, the contributors examine the ways men and women lived,
negotiated, and challenged prevailing conceptions of gender and
sexual identity. In particular, their papers explore textual
constructions and transformations of religious and secular
masculinities and femininities; visual subversions of gender roles;
gender and the exercise of power; and the role sexuality plays in
the creation of gender identity. The methodologies which are used
in this volume are relevant both to specialists of the Middle Ages
and early modern periods, and to scholars working more broadly in
fields that draw on contemporary gender studies.
