The book is organized not by specific types of sexual interactions or deviance but rather to reflect the differing gendered experiences when sex is perceived as an act performed by one person to another. Within and outside of marriage, as well as periods of sexual inactivity, sexual activity carried distinct meanings based on factors such as gender, social status, religious affiliation, and more. This comprehensive exploration delves into these iterations of medieval sexuality, aiming to demonstrate that there was no singular medieval perspective on sexuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book emphasizes Christian Western Europe throughout the entirety of the Middle Ages and includes comparative material on neighboring cultures at the time. In addition to undergoing rework for enhanced clarity and readability, the fourth edition presents substantial new content on trans scholarship and methodological efforts to reclaim a trans past. It also explores changes in the treatment of sex work and its terminology, as well as introducing fresh material on Byzantine and Muslim cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSexuality in Medieval Europe serves as an indispensable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of medieval history, medieval culture, and the history of sexuality in Europe. Its comprehensive approach and rich content make it a valuable contribution to the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 508g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367647278\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 ed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RuthMazo Karras,Katherine E.
