Queering Medieval Genres proposes that, within the historical
trajectory of many genres, certain agents are privileged while
others are marginalized due to their understanding of
heteronormative social codes. Examining the ways in which
homosexuality disrupts generic and cultural expectations of
heteronormativity, this book demonstrates that the introduction of
the queer within medieval literature shatters the audience's
expectations of textual pleasure and demands that they reconsider
the effects of homosexuality on their constructions of sexual and
spiritual identity. Scholars of medieval literature will appreciate
the fresh insights that queer genre theory provides on critical
texts of the period; additionally, Queering Medieval Genres
outlines a hermeneutic device with which to analyze literature of
other historical periods as well.
