Concentrating on both dissident and orthodox communities of England in the late 14th and early 15th century, Carolyn Dinshaw presents a new sense of queer history. She examines canonical Middle English texts, polemics around the religious dissidents known as the Lollards and prostitutes in London. The insight presented in Getting Medieval makes a connection between past and present cultures to demonstrate how inquiry into pre-modern societies can contribute to current issues. | Getting Medieval by Carolyn Dinshaw, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
