In this first ever book-length treatment, 11 scholars with a
variety of backgrounds in medieval studies, film studies, and
medievalism discuss how historical and fictional medieval women
have been portrayed on film and their connections to the feminist
movements of the 20th and 21st centuries. From detailed studies of
the portrayal of female desire and sexuality, to explorations of
how and when these women gain agency, these essays look at the
different ways these women reinforce, defy, and complicate
traditional gender roles. Individual essays discuss the complex and
sometimes conflicting cinematic treatments of Guinevere, Morgan Le
Fay, Isolde, Maid Marian, Lady Godiva, Heloise, Eleanor of
Aquitaine, and Joan of Arc. Additional essays discuss the women in
Fritz Lang's The Nibelungen, Liv Ullmann's Kristin Lavransdatter,
and Bertrand Tavernier's La Passion Beatrice.
