Frontmatter -- Index -- Illustrations, Tables and Figures -- Preface -- Introduction: Gender and Status in the Medieval World -- Chapter 1 Mirrors for Margraves: Peter Damian’s Models for Male and Female Rulers -- Chapter 2 Inaudito exemplo: The Abduction of Romsey’s Abbess -- Chapter 3 The Corpus Christi Devotion: Gender, Liturgy, and Authority among Dominican Nuns in Castile in the Middle Ages -- Chapter 4 From Villainous Letch and Sinful Outcast, to “Especially Beloved of God” Complicating the Medieval Leper through Gender and Social Status -- Chapter 5 “To take a wyf” Marriage, Status, and Moral Conduct in “The Merchant’s Tale” -- Chapter 6 Objectification, Empowerment, and the Male Gaze in the Lanval Corpus -- Chapter 7 Pueri Sunt Pueri: Machismo, Chivalry, and the Aggressive Pastimes of the Medieval Male Youth -- Chapter 8 “And much more I am soryat for my good knyghts” Fainting, Homosociality, and Elite Male Culture in Middle English Romance -- Chapter 9 Wrist Clasps and Patriliny: A Hypothesis -- Index
Summary: Status and gender are two closely associated concepts within medieval society, which tended to view both notions as binary: elite or low status, married or single, holy or cursed, male or female, or as complementary and cohesive as multiple parts of a societal whole. With contributions on topics ranging from medieval leprosy to boyhood behaviors, this interdisciplinary collection highlights the various ways “status” can be interpreted relative to gender, and what these two interlocked concepts can reveal about the construction of gendered identities in the Middle Ages.
