Essays offering new approaches to the changing forms of medieval
religious masculinity. The complex relationship between masculinity
and religion, as experienced in both the secular and ecclesiastical
worlds, forms the focus for this volume, whose range encompasses
the rabbis of the Babylonian and Palestinian Talmud,and moves via
Carolingian and Norman France, Siena, Antioch, and high and late
medieval England to the eve of the Reformation. Chapters
investigate the creation and reconstitution of different
expressions of masculine identity, from the clerical enthusiasts
for marriage to the lay practitioners of chastity, from crusading
bishops to holy kings. They also consider the extent to which lay
and clerical understandings of masculinity existed in an unstable
dialectical relationship, at times sharing similar features, at
others pointedly different, co-opting and rejecting features of the
other; the articles show this interplay to be more far more
complicated than a simple linear narrative of either increasing
divergence, or of clerical colonization of lay masculinity. They
also challenge conventional historiographies of the adoption of
clerical celibacy, of the decline of monasticism and the gendered
nature of piety. P.H. CULLUM is Student Experience Co-ordinator for
