Description

Explore the complex relationship between medieval teratology and gender in this scholarly study from Routledge. In 'Medieval Monstrosity and the Female Body,' Miller examines how the concept of the monster functioned within medieval religious, racial, and corporeal frameworks. While many monstrous races were relegated to the distant margins of maps and civilization, the female body presented a unique challenge to these boundaries. This book investigates how the female body occupied a space that resisted typical marginalization. Rather than existing only on the edges of the known world, the perceived monstrosity of the female form was integrated into the heart of society through roles such as mother, sister, wife, and daughter. This research provides a deep look into how medieval culture understood physical and social aberrations. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the intersection of medieval religion, culture, and the history of the human body.
