Holiness and Masculinity in the Middle Ages

by Patricia H. Callum and Katherine Lewis

Published 16 July 2004

Although studies of gender in medieval culture have tended to focus on femininity, the study of medieval masculinities has developed greatly over the last few years. This book concentrates on this aspect of medieval gender studies, and looks at the ways in which varieties of medieval masculinity intersected with concepts of holiness.
