This book interrogates our ideas about heterosexuality through
examination of medieval romance narratives. Familiar configurations
of romantic fiction such as male desire overwhelming feminine
reluctance and the aloof masculine hero undone by love derive from
this period. This book tests current theories of language and
desire through stylistic analysis, examining transitivity choices
and speech acts in sexual encounters and conversations in medieval
romances. In the context of current preoccupations with gender and
sexuality, and consent in rape cases, this study is of interest to
scholars investigating language and sexuality as well as those
researching and teaching medieval literature and culture.
