Bøker av Carolyn Dinshaw

In this volume, medievalist Carolyn Dinshaw offers a powerful critique of modernist temporal regimes through a revelatory exploration of queer ways of being in time as well as the potential queerness of time itself.

Explores how particular sexual practices and identifications were normalized while others were outlawed in medieval England. This work demonstrates how intellectual inquiry into pre-modern societies can contribute invaluably to contemporary issues in cultural studies. It also attempts to make connections between past and present cultures.

A feminist study of Chaucer's poetry, this book shows how Chaucer correlates amatory acts with literary acts. The author suggests that gendered relations such as courtship, marriage and betrayal are central to an understanding of Chaucer's poetics.
