Holiness and Masculinity in the Middle Ages (Paperback, UK ed.)

Concentrating on the topic of masculinity in medieval gender studies, these essays examine the ways in which varieties of medieval masculinity intersected with concepts of holiness. Noting a wide variety of texts and historical contexts, these writings explore differing notions of medieval holiness understood as religious, saintly, sacred, pure, and morally perfect, as well as a variety of topics that include the significance of the tonsure, sanctity and martyrdom, eunuch saints, and the writings of Henry Suso.
