Medieval Irish texts reveal distinctive and unexpected
constructions of gender. Constructing Gender in Medieval Ireland
illuminates these ideas through its fresh and provocative
re-readings of a wide range of texts, including saga, romance,
legal texts, Fenian narrative, hagiography, and ecclesiastical
verse. This ground-breaking collection presents new research by
emerging and established scholars, who explore a variety of
perspectives on sexual difference in medieval Irish culture. The
contributors examine the intersections of gender with narrative,
visuality, law, speech acts, transgression, and performance -
painting a compelling picture of the many ways in which authors and
audiences conceptualized gender in medieval Ireland.
