    av Leah Middlebrook
    470 - 797,-

    Based on readings of representative poems by eight Peninsular writers, this book demonstrates that the lyric was a crucial site for the negotiation of masculine identity as Spain's noblemen were alternately cajoled and coerced into abandoning their identifications with images of the medieval hero and assuming instead the posture of subjects.

  • - Clothing in Twelfth-Century French Romance
    av Monica L. Wright
    470 - 797,-

    Clothing figured prominently in twelfth-century France, where exotic fabrics and furs came to define a social elite.

It shows that representations of clothing are not mere embellishments to the text.

    av Laine E. Doggett
    531 - 1 050,-
