Synopsis

Drawing upon contemporary work on consent, the politics of desire, and asexuality, this book examines how resistance is often transformed into acceptance, through consensual negotiation or coercive force. Discusses works including Marie de France's twelfth-century Guigemar, Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur, Geoffrey Chaucer's Franklin's Tale and William Caxton's fifteenth-century prose romances.
