Synopsis

Addresses sexism in postmedieval responses to the Middle Ages. Essays demonstrate the ubiquity of gender issues and the flexibility of approaches to them. The authors discuss the sexualization of Grendel's mother; gender substitution; female authorship of early-nineteenth-century plays; video game violence; nationalism in fake nineteenth-century medievalist documents and contemporary online fora; racial discrimination in video gaming and Jim Crow literature; and the condemnation of racism in Maria Dahvana Headley's novel The Mere Wife.
