Allen J. Frantzen traces chivalric ideals from the Great War back to their origins in the Middle Ages and shows how they resulted in highly influential models of behaviour for men in combat.

Examining the intolerance of homosexuality in the early medieval period, this study challenges the long-held belief that the early Middle Ages tolerated same-sex relations. The work focuses on Anglo-Saxon literature but also includes examinations of contemporary opera, dance and theatre.
