Versions of Virginity in Late Medieval England
Author: Sarah Salih
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 0859916227
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
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.

"The Sins of Madame Eglentyne", and Other Essays on Chaucer
Author: Richard Rex
Publisher: University of Delaware Press
ISBN: 9780874135671
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
The essays in this single-author collection are principally concerned with Madame Eglentyne, the demure and elegant prioress depicted in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Richard Rex contends that how we think about Chaucer as a Christian depends largely on our interpretation of the Prioress's Tale, which in turn is linked to the brilliant portrait of Madame Eglentyne in the General Prologue.
