Gender in medieval places, spaces and thresholds

This book addresses the concept of gender in the Middle Ages through the study of place and space, exploring how gender and space may be mutually constructive and how individuals and communities make and are made by the places and spaces they inhabit. Interrogating the thresholds between sacred and secular, public and private, enclosure and exposure, domestic and political, movement and stasis, the essays in this collection draw on current research and contemporary theory to suggest new destinations for future study.
