Crossing Borders: Love Between Women in Medieval French and Arabic LiteraturesUniversity of Pennsylvania Press, 1. mar. 2013 - 264 strani Given Christianity's valuation of celibacy and its persistent association of sexuality with the Fall and of women with sin, Western medieval attitudes toward the erotic could not help but be vexed. In contrast, eroticism is explicitly celebrated in a large number of theological, scientific, and literary texts of the medieval Arab Islamicate tradition, where sexuality was positioned at the very heart of religious piety. |
