Conflicting Identities and Multiple Masculinities takes as its
focus the construction of masculinity in Western Europe from the
early Middle Ages until the fifteenth century, crossing from
pre-Christian Scandinavia across western Christendom. The essays
consult a broad and representative cross section of sources
including the work of theological, scholastic, and monastic
writers, sagas, hagiography and memoirs, material culture,
chronicles, exampla and vernacular literature, sumptuary
legislation, and the records of ecclesiastical courts. The studies
address questions of what constituted male identity, and male
sexuality. How was masculinity constructed in different social
groups? How did the secular and ecclesiastical ideals of
masculinity reinforce each other or diverge? These essays address
the topic of medieval men and, through a variety of theoretical,
methodological, and disciplinary approaches, significantly extend
our understanding of how, in the Middle Ages, masculinity and
identity were conflicted and multifarious.
