Historians of sexuality have often assumed that medieval people
were less interested in sex than we are. But people in the Middle
Ages wrote a great deal about sex: in confessors' manuals, in
virginity treatises, and in literary texts. This volume looks
afresh at the cultural meanings that sex had throughout the period,
presenting new evidence and offering new interpretations of known
material. Acknowledging that many of the categories that we use
today to talk about sexuality are inadequate for understanding sex
in premodern times, the volume draws on important recent work in
the historiography of medieval sexuality to address the conceptual
and methodological challenges the period presents. A Cultural
History of Sexuality in the Middle Ages presents an overview of the
period with essays on heterosexuality, homosexuality, sexual
variations, religious and legal issues, health concerns, popular
beliefs about sexuality, prostitution and erotica.
