Gender in Medieval Culture provides a detailed examination of
medieval society's views on both gender and sexuality, and shows
how they are inextricably linked. Sex roles were clearly defined in
the medieval world although there were exceptions to the rules, and
this book examines both the commonplace world view and the
exceptions to it. The volume looks not only at the social and
economic considerations of gender but also the religious and legal
implications, arguing that both ecclesiastical and secular laws
governed behaviour. The book covers key topics, including
femininity and masculinity and how medieval society constructed
these terms; sexuality and sex; transgressive sexualities such as
homosexuality, adultery and chastity; and the gendered body of
Christ, including the idea of Jesus as mother and affective
spirituality. Using a clear chapter structure for easy navigation
and categorisation, as well as chapter summaries and a glossary of
terms, the book will be a vital resource for students of medieval
history.
