Matthew Shaw was a seemingly normal man, leading an average and
mundane life, until in the space of just two days his whole world
was suddenly turned upside down. Everything that Matt has ever
known and believed in has been smashed to pieces, the world is
being torn apart by demons and the love of his life has been taken
to Hell and is slowly being seduced by Lucifer himself. Matt has
been rescued by the angels from the Cremluk Shield. He has been
told that he is the chosen one. The one and only being that can
destroy Lucifer. The fate of not only the angels but all mankind
rests on his shoulders. As whilst Matt is trained by the angels,
Lucifer begins the final preparations for his take over. Matt has
no choice but to join the angels in their war between the
unbelievers and the forces of Hell on the one side and the Angels
and the few good men left in the world on the other. The final war
is coming...which side will you choose?
Prostitution played an important part in structuring gender
relations in medieval Germany. Prostitutes were often viewed as an
example of the extreme female sinfulness which all women risked
falling into, yet their social role was also seen as vital to the
unmarried men for whom they provided a sexual outlet. Prostitution
and Subjectivity in Late Medieval Germany is the first full-length
study of medieval prostitution to focus primarily on how gender
discourse shaped the lives of prostitutes themselves. Based on
three legal case studies from the late medieval Empire, Prostitutes
and Subjectivity in Late Medieval Germany examines constructions of
subjectivity between 1400 and 1500. This period saw the rapid rise
of tolerated prostitution across much of western Europe and the
emergence of the public brothel as a central institution in the
regulation of social order, followed by its equally rapid
suppression from the early 1500s. By analysing how individuals
interacted with cultural discourses surrounding the body,
sexuality, and sin, the book explores how the concepts which
defined prostitution in the Middle Ages shaped individual lives,
and how individuals were able - or not - to exert agency, both
within the circumstances of their own lives, and in response to
official attempts to regulate sexual behaviour.
