Who Was a Scold? --Conclusion: Consequences of the Feminization of Deviant Speech --Notes --Bibliography --Index --AcknowledgmentsSandy Bardsley examines the complex relationship between speech and gender in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and engages debates on the static nature of women's status after the Black Death. Focusing on England, Venomous Tongues uses a combination of legal, literary, and artistic sources to show how deviant speech was increasingly feminized in the later Middle Ages. Women of all social classes and marital statuses ran the risk of being charged as scolds, and local jurisdictions interpreted the label "scold" in a way that best fit their particular circumstances. Indeed, Bardsley demonstrates, this flexibility of definition helped to ensure the longevity of the term: women were punished as scolds as late as the early nineteenth century. The tongue, according to late medieval moralists, was a dangerous weapon that tempted people to sin. During the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, clerics railed against blasphemers, liars, and slanderers, while village and town elites prosecuted those who abused officials or committed the newly devised offense of scolding. In courts, women in particular were prosecuted and punished for insulting others or talking too much in a public setting. In literature, both men and women were warned about women's propensity to gossip and quarrel, while characters such as Noah's Wife and the Wife of Bath demonstrate the development of a stereotypically garrulous woman. Visual representations, such as depictions of women gossiping in church, also reinforced the message that women's speech was likely to be disruptive and deviant.Middle Ages series.English languageMiddle English, 1100-1500Sex differencesLanguage and cultureEnglandHistoryTo 1500WomenHistoryMiddle Ages, 500-1500Sex differences (Psychology)Great BritainHistoryMedieval period, 1066-1485Gender Studies.History.Medieval and Renaissance Studies.Women's Studies.English languageSex differences.Language and cultureHistoryWomenHistorySex differences (Psychology)History306.44/09420902Bardsley Sandy1534920MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787070303321Venomous tongues3782793UNINA02678nam0 22005653i 450 RMS144459220251003044345.0884303720X20060124d2005 ||||0itac50 baitaitz01i xxxe z01nWelfare scandinavo, welfare italianoil modello sociale europeoa cura di Paolo BorioniRomaCarocci2005158 p.22 cm.Biblioteca di testi e studi342001VIA00418092001 Biblioteca di testi e studi342Welfare statePaesi scandinaviCongressiRoma2004FIRNAPC242683IWelfare stateItaliaCongressiRoma2004FIRNAPC242684I361.6Problemi sociali e assistenza sociale in generale - Intervento pubblico14361.65PROBLEMI SOCIALI E ASSISTENZA SOCIALE.
