The Oxford Handbook of Women and Gender in Medieval Europe provides
a comprehensive overview of the gender rules encountered in Europe
in the period between approximately 500 and 1500 C.E. The essays
collected in this volume speak to interpretative challenges common
to all fields of women's and gender history - that is, how best to
uncover the experiences of ordinary people from archives formed
mainly by and about elite males, and how to combine social
histories of lived experiences with cultural histories of gendered
discourses and identities. The collection focuses on Western Europe
in the Middle Ages but offers some consideration of medieval Islam
and Byzantium. The Handbook is structured into seven sections:
Christian, Jewish, and Muslim thought; law in theory and practice;
domestic life and material culture; labour, land, and economy;
bodies and sexualities; gender and holiness; and the interplay of
continuity and change throughout the medieval period. It contains
material from some of the foremost scholars in this field, and it
not only serves as the major reference text in medieval and gender
studies, but also provides an agenda for future new research.
