| Summary: | This scholarly work by Judith Klinger delves into the exploration of identity, desire, and difference in late 12th-century literature. It examines medieval perspectives on gender, sexuality, and societal constructs, analyzing how these themes are portrayed in key texts such as the 'Rolandslied,' 'Eneasroman,' and other medieval works. The book investigates the dynamics of heterosocial and homosocial desires, the interplay between power and eroticism, and the socio-cultural frameworks of the time. Klinger's research integrates critical medieval studies with modern theoretical approaches, offering a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding gender and desire in pre-modern contexts. Intended for academics and students of medieval literature, gender studies, and cultural history, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of medieval narratives and their broader implications. |
