Description:
The body as erotic object pervades Western literature. This volume examines a variety of textual incarnations of the sacred and mystical body in French texts of the Medieval and Early Modern period. Articles examine Old French hagiography, epic and romance; Renaissance court ballet; seventeenth-century political treatises; memoirs of royal wedding ceremonies; and utopian, satirical, philosophical, and didactic literature. The intellectual scope of the volume covers topics as diverse as medieval scholasticism, seventeenth-century political thought, relations between representations of the male and female body, and the theatricalization of the body.
