Description

Explore the evolving perceptions of youth in the Middle Ages with Phyllis Gaffney's research. This book examines how medieval childhood was portrayed through vernacular French narratives between 1100 and 1220. By analyzing over sixty poems across the epic and romance genres, Gaffney investigates whether boundaries between childhood and young adulthood were always clear and how gender influenced these views. This study provides a way to test historical conclusions using evidence from imaginative literature. It offers a detailed look at the contrast and change found in early French narratives, moving from the limited depictions in early epics to more complex representations. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in medieval history, literature, and the social construction of age and gender in Europe.
