Scholarship on early Medieval England has seen an exponential increase in scholarly work by and about women over the past 20 years, but the field has remained peculiarly resistant to the transformative potential of feminist critique. Since 2016, Medieval Studies has been rocked by conversations about the state of the field, shifting from #MeToo to #WhiteFeminism to the purposeful rethinking of the label 'Anglo-Saxonist'. This volume takes a step toward decentring the traditional scholarly conversation with 13 essays by American, Canadian, European, and UK professors, along with independent scholars and early career researchers from a range of disciplinary perspectives. The theoretical and political commitments of this volume comprise one strand of a multivalent effort to rethink the parameters of the discipline and to create a scholarly community that is innovative, inclusive, and diverse.

Rien ne semble plus incongru que de prendre appui sur la société d'Ancien Régime pour penser le refus féminin. Assignées au devoir de "réserve" par les traités de civilité et au silence ou à la "feinte résistance" par les codes de séduction, les héroïnes de la littérature classique n'auraient rien à nous transmettre, surtout pas le pouvoir de dire "non" . On aurait pu croire l'affaire pliée sans la sagacité de Jennifer Tamas. Car, à leur manière, les femmes du Grand Siècle ont résisté, elles ont désobéi, et de ces combats à bas bruit il demeure des traces. Sous les images de princesses endormies célébrées par l'industrie du divertissement se cachent de puissants refus, occultés par des siècles d'interprétations patriarcales. Jennifer Tamas les exhume avec courage et subtilité, elle traque l'expression du féminin sous le regard masculin et tend savamment l'oreille vers le bruissement des voix récalcitrantes. Conviant les figures dissidentes des siècles anciens, du Petit Chaperon rouge à Bérénice, elle vivifie le discours féministe et trouve chez Marilyn Monroe le secret d'Hélène de Troie. Elle révèle ainsi, non sans un brin d'irrévérence, un magnifique matrimoine, trop longtemps séquestré dans les forteresses universitaires
