Gender analysis is one of the most probing ways to understand both
power and cultural strategies in pre-industrial societies. In this
book, sixteen scholars on the cutting edges of their disciplines
explore the ideas and expressions of gender that characterised the
centuries from c. 300 to 900 in milieux ranging from York to
Baghdad, via Rome and Constantinople. Deploying a variety of
disciplines and perspectives, they draw on the evidence of material
culture as well as texts to demonstrate the wide range of gender
identities that informed the social, political and imaginary worlds
of these centuries. The essays make clear that the fixed point in
the gender systems of the period was constituted by the hegemonic
masculinity of the ruling elite, marginalised groups often
invisible as historical subjects in their own right were
omnipresent in, and critical to, the gendered discourses which
buttressed assertions of power.
