Getting Medieval – Sexualities and Communities, Pre– and Postmodern: Series Q

"Getting Medieval is not just for medievalists... Dinshaw's very personal, highly specific and precisely targeted vision should stimulate consideration of the meanings assigned to the medieval world in the postmodern world."--The Times Higher Education Supplement, September 8, 2000 "Carolyn Dinshaw is preeminent for the subtlety with which she discloses gendered turmoil in historically situated texts. I can hardly wait to have Getting Medieval on my own shelf, to have its adventurous deployments of 'the touch of the queer' available for frequent consultation." Paul Strohm, University of Oxford "This book has a beautiful range, both among premodern English discourses and in postmodern theory, and Dinshaw really and truly does make these different textualities touch" Louise O. Fradenburg, University of California, Santa Barbara

"A wonderful book. The things addressed are so heterogeneous--their sheer distance from one another is a kind of elegance."--Robert Gluck, San Francisco State University
