Kathryn Ringrose uses the modern concept of gender as a social construct to identify eunuchs as a distinct gender and to illustrate how gender was defined in the Byzantine world. At the same time she explores the changing role of the eunuch in Byzantium from 600 to 1100. Accepted for generations as a legitimate and functional part of Byzantine civilization, eunuchs were prominent in both the imperial court and the church. They were distinctive in physical appearance, dress, and manner and were considered uniquely suited for important roles in Byzantine life. Transcending conventional notions of male and female, eunuchs lived outside of normal patterns of procreation and inheritance and were assigned a unique capacity for mediating across social and spiritual boundaries. This allowed them to perform tasks from which prominent men and women were constrained, making them, in essence, perfect servants. Written with precision and meticulously researched, The Perfect Servant will immediately take its place as a major study on Byzantium and the history of gender.ACLS Fellows’ publications.EunuchsByzantine EmpireSex roleByzantine EmpireByzantine EmpireCivilizationeunuchs, gender, byzantium, acculturation, tradition, religion, procreation, inheritance, spirituality, sanctity, authority, imperial numen, palace, sexuality, asceticism, power, royal court, domestic staff, purity, antiquity, christianity, constraint, europe, nonfiction, history, social construction, angles, mobility, liminality.EunuchsSex role305.3/09495Ringrose Kathryn M864203MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996248202403316The perfect servant1928898UNISA
