Whereas some literary motifs such as the tyrant, the beggar, and
the crone have equivalents in the real world, the Loathly Lady is a
creature of the imagination. Yet she is not merely a whimsical
fantasy. This volume concentrates on the medieval English Loathly
Lady tales, which develop the motif as a vehicle for social
ideology. One of the primary agendas of this collection is to
promote the non-canonical Loathly Ladies as worthwhile subjects for
scholarly consideration. The examinations here of the medieval
English Loathly Lady tales engage with a myriad of concerns,
including anxieties about virginity and sex, power and
assimilation, beauty and beastliness. These broad examinations of
this enigmatic literary motif are an excellent contribution to the
field and will be of great interest to scholars.
