Description

Explore a deep academic investigation into the complexities of medieval social norms with Performing Virginity and Testing Chastity in the Middle Ages: 2. Published by Routledge as part of the Research in Medieval Studies series, this book examines the challenges of defining and verifying female virginity in Western Europe. Kelly provides a rigorous analysis of diverse medieval texts, ranging from medical treatises and their Classical roots to legal and historical documents. The work focuses on how both male and female virgins are represented within the context of saints' legends and romances. By examining these historical perspectives, the book offers a unique look at how concepts of purity were constructed and contested. To provide a modern perspective, the author includes a comparative study of contemporary fiction, television, and film where the theme of testing virginity appears. This makes the text a valuable resource for students, historians, and researchers interested in medieval studies, gender history, and the evolution of social standards.
