Same Sex Love and Desire Among Women in the Middle Ages

Informationen zum Autor Francesca Canadé Sautman teaches courses at Hunter College and CUNY Graduate School. Pamela Sheingorn is Professor of History at Baruch College, CUNY, and of Theater at the Graduate Center, CUNY. Klappentext While scholarship in lesbian/gay studies, queer studies, and studies of gender and sexuality has had an enormous impact on medieval studies, little attention has been paid thus far to women who chose to live according to same-sex affectivity and desire. General treatments of homosexuality in the Middle Ages have assumed that little can be said on the subject. The contributors explore the many ways that lesbian love and desire may have been articulated and represented in the medieval period.
