What's Medieval Got To Do With It?, Carolyn Dinshaw Oct 2001

What's Medieval Got To Do With It?, Carolyn Dinshaw

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

President Bush's response to September 11 — he has called this "war on terrorism" a "crusade" — is terrifying in its own right, framing the future as a reprise of the medieval past: several centuries of battle between Christianity and Islam. It's "going to take a while," Bush said. The White House may have subsequently backed off that rhetoric, but the metaphor (if it is one) draws on entrenched habits of thought.


From Sorcery To Witchcraft: Clerical Conceptions Of Magic In The Later Middle Ages, Michael D. Bailey Oct 2001

From Sorcery To Witchcraft: Clerical Conceptions Of Magic In The Later Middle Ages, Michael D. Bailey

Michael D. Bailey

By the time the fires of the great European witch-hunts burned out in the seventeenth century, untold thousands had been sent to their deaths upon conviction of this terrible crime. Exact figures are understandably difficult to come by, but the best available estimates set the number of the dead near sixty thousand, and this just for the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when the witch craze reached its peak in western Europe.

Defending The Double Monastery: Aldhelm Of Malmesbury's De Virginitate And Seventh-Century England, Thomas Cramer Aug 2001

Defending The Double Monastery: Aldhelm Of Malmesbury's De Virginitate And Seventh-Century England, Thomas Cramer

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The double monasteries of seventh-century England have long been a problematic institution for historical interpretation. The purpose of this project is an attempt to place these institutions in relation to the ecclesiastical controversies of seventh-century England. Archbishop Theodore, who wished to reform the Anglo-Saxon church, challenged the role of the double monasteries. The attack on the double monasteries was instituted along gendered lines by evoking religious traditions that called into question the legitimacy of cooperation between monastic men and women. However, this position was not universally accepted. Aldhelm of Malmesbury’s De Virginitate provides a theological defense for the double monastery …

The Importance Of Being Related: How The Nuclear Family Functioned Within The Urban Environment Of Medieval Norwich 1250-1348, Anne Grant May 2001

The Importance Of Being Related: How The Nuclear Family Functioned Within The Urban Environment Of Medieval Norwich 1250-1348, Anne Grant

Anne Grant

Did medieval families function on a nuclear or an extended level? This thesis will show that the families in urban Norwich, England in the Middle Ages worked, loved and played within strong nuclear families instead of floundering in a sea of extended relatives and neighbors. Using two books of deeds from the city of Norwich as well as the police records and other assorted information from the city, this paper will prove that nuclear family relationships, with their economic and social bonds, were of primary importance to the functionality of the conjugal family and that much less focus was centered …

Pois Dompna S'Ave/D'Amar: Na Castellosa's "Cansos" And Medieval Feminist Scholarship, Alison Langdon

English Faculty Publications

Despite the rapidly spreading popularity of troubadour poetry throughout Western Europe (to northern France, Italy, Spain, Germany), only in Occitania do we find significant numbers of women poets participating in the tradition alongside their male counterparts-about twenty known by name, with another seventeen mentioned by other medieval writers but whose compositions have evidently been lost.1 Of all the trobairitz, it is Na Castelloza who most closely aligns herself with the"self-consciousness of the early troubadours and the self-effacing humility of the troubadour lover in general."2 she situates her female speaker in the same rhetorical position occupied by the …
