Medieval Obscenities
Obscenity is, if nothing else, controversial. And it is often, erroneously, assumed to be synonymous with modernity. Its definition, consumption and regulation fire debate about the very meaning of art and culture, law, politics and ideology.
Its approach is multidisciplinary, its methodologies divergent and it seeks to formulate questions and stimulate debate. Medieval Obscenities examines the complex and contentious role of the obscene - what is offensive, indecent or morally repugnant - in medieval culture from late antiquity through to the end of the Middle Ages in western Europe. The essays examine topics as diverse as Norse defecation taboos, the Anglo-Saxon sexual idiom, sheela-na-gigs, impotence in the church courts, bare ecclesiastical bottoms, rude sounds and dirty words, as well as the modern reception and representation of the medieval obscene.
