Same Sex Love and Desire Among Women in the Middle Ages

Exploring the often-overlooked experiences of women who embraced same-sex love in the medieval era, this collection of essays delves into how lesbian desire and affection were expressed and represented. The contributors challenge the prevailing notion that little can be said about homosexuality in the Middle Ages, providing a nuanced examination of historical narratives and cultural contexts surrounding female same-sex relationships. This work enriches the understanding of gender and sexuality in medieval studies.
