Medieval virginity theory explored through study of martyrs, nuns
and Margery Kempe. This study looks at the question of what it
meant to be a virgin in the Middle Ages, and the forms which female
virginity took. It begins with the assumptions that there is more
to virginity than sexual inexperience, and that virginity may be
considered as a gendered identity, a role which is performed rather
than biologically determined. The author explores versions of
virginity as they appear in medieval saints' lives, in the
institutional chastity of nuns, and as shown in the book of Margery
Kempe, showing how it can be active, contested, vulnerable but also
recoverable. SARAH SALIH teaches in the Department of English at
King's College London.
