Description

This volume examines the erotic in the literature of medieval Britain, primarily in Middle English, but also in Latin, Welsh and Old French. Seeking to discover the nature of the erotic and how it differs from modern erotics, the contributors address topics such as the Wife of Bath's opinions on marital eroticism, the role of clothing and nudity, the tension between eroticism and transgression, the interplay between religion and the erotic, and the hedonistic horrors of the cannibalistic Giant of Mont St Michel.
Contributors: ALEX DAVIS, SIMON MEECHAM-JONES, JANE BLISS, SUE NIEBRZYDOWSKI, KRISTINA HILDEBRAND, ANTHONY BALE, CORY JAMES RUSHTON, CORINNE SAUNDERS, AMANDA HOPKINS, ROBERT ROUSE, MARGARET ROBSON, THOMAS H. CROFTS III, MICHAEL CICHON.
AMANDA HOPKINS teaches in the department of English and Comparative Literary Studies and the department of French at the University of Warwick. CORY RUSHTON is in the Department of English at St. Francis Xavier University, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Reviews A multiplicity of perspectives on a discreet (yet vast) number of texts, many of which are romances, that lends a sense of completeness to the book as a whole. COMITATUS
