Clothes Make the Man: Female Cross Dressing in Medieval EuropeRoutledge, 12 nov 2012 - 214 pagine In this book, the author explores medieval society's fascination with the cross-dressed woman. The author examines a wide variety of religious, literary, and historical sources, which record interpretations of sartorial attempts to overcome gender hierarchy and also illustrate, mainly through the device of inversion, a remarkably sustained desire to examine and reexamine the nature of social gender identities. |
