An illuminating exploration of the surprisingly familiar sex lives of ordinary medieval people. The medieval humoral system of medicine suggested that it was possible to die from having too much--or too little--sex, while the Roman Catholic Church taught that virginity was the ideal state. Holy men and women committed themselves to lifelong abstinence in the name of religion. Everyone was forced to conform to restrictive rules about who they could have sex with, in what way, how often, and even when, and could be harshly punished for getting it wrong. Other experiences are more familiar. Like us, medieval people faced challenges in finding a suitable partner or trying to get pregnant (or trying not to). They also struggled with many of the same social issues, such as whether prostitution should be legalized. Above all, they shared our fondness for dirty jokes and erotic images. By exploring their sex lives, the book brings ordinary medieval people to life and reveals details of their most personal thoughts and experiences. Ultimately, it provides us with an important and intimate connection to the past.

Onder de titel 'Parallelle levens' zijn in dit achttiende Jaarboek voor Vrouwengeschiedenis een aantal artikelen bij elkaar gebracht, waarin de mogelijkheden van een biografische benadering voor vrouwengeschiedenis worden verkend. Om de betekenis van sekse bij de vormgeving van iemands leven(sgeschiedenis) nader te onderzoeken, wordt 'het biografische' niet vanuit één, maar vanuit twee hoofdpersonen en hun gedeelde levensgeschiedenis benaderd. In de gepresenteerde case-studies (zowel bekende als minder bekende Nederlandse echtparen, een zusterpaar, een vrouwenpaar) wordt gekeken naar de manier waarop de partners zich onderling aan elkaar en anderen 'spiegelden', en naar de manier waarop zij hun (samen)leven vormgeven in relatie tot andere ontwikkelingen, die zich voltrekken op het snijvlak van de persoonlijke levenssfeer en de politiek-maatschappelijke verhoudingen.

"The Oxford Handbook of Women and Gender in Medieval Europe provides a comprehensive overview of the gender rules encountered in Europe in the period between approximately 500 and 1500 C.E. The essays collected in this volume speak to interpretative challenges common to all fields of women's and gender history--that is, how best to uncover the experiences of ordinary people from archives formed mainly by and about elite males, and how to combine social histories of lived experiences with cultural histories of gendered discourses and identities. The collection focuses on Western Europe in the Middle Ages but offers some consideration of medieval Islam and Byzantium, opening these fields for further research. The Handbook is structured into seven sections: Christian, Jewish, and Muslim thought; law in theory and practice; domestic life and material culture; labour, land, and economy; bodies and sexualities; gender and holiness; and the interplay of continuity and change throughout the medieval period. This Handbook contains material from some of the foremost scholars in this field, and will not only serve as the major reference text in the area of medieval and gender studies, but will also provide the agenda for future new research"--
