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.
Discussions of the relationship between gender and religion most often focus attention on female religious figures. In redressing this bias, this collection of fourteen essays, taken from a conference held at the University of Huddersfield in 2001, examines how medieval masculinity related to concepts of holiness. Contents include: Sexual prowess, the battle for chastity and monastic identity (J Murray) ; Masculine identity in mystic marriages (C D Muir) ; Masculinity and eunuch saints in Byzantium (S Tougher) ; Holiness and masculinity in the Lives of Anglo-Saxon martyr-kings (E Christie) ; Monarchy, martyrdom and masculinity: England in the later Middle Ages (W M Ormrod) .
