First published in 1988, David Aers explores the treatment of
community, gender, and individual identity in English writing between
1360 and 1430, focusing on Margery Kempe, Langland, Chaucer, and the
poet of Sir Gawain. He shows how these texts deal with questions about
gender, the making of individual identity, and competing versions of
community in ways which still speak powerfully in contemporary
analysis of gender formation, sexuality, and love. Making wide use of
recent research on the English economy and communities, and informed
by current debates in the theory of culture and gender, the book will
be of interest to those concerned with Medieval studies, Renaissance
studies, and Women’s studies.
