In this major contribution to gender studies, R. Howard Bloch demonstrates how similar the ubiquitous antifeminism of medieval times and the romantic idealization of woman actually are. Through analyses of a broad range of patristic and medieval texts, Bloch explores the Christian construction of gender in which the flesh is feminized, the feminine is aestheticized, and aesthetics are condemned in theological terms. Tracing the underlying theme of virginity from the Church Fathers to the courtly poets, Bloch establishes the continuity between early Christian antifeminism and the idealization of woman that emerged in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. In conclusion he explains the likely social, economic, and legal causes for the seeming inversion of the terms of misogyny into those of an idealizing tradition of love that exists alongside its earlier avatar until the current era. This startling study will be of great value to students of medieval literature as well as to historians of culture and gender. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aLove$xHistory 606 $aMisogyny$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aPatriarchy$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aSocial history$yMedieval, 500-1500 606 $aWomen$xHistory$yMiddle Ages, 500-1500 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLove$xHistory. 615 0$aMisogyny$xHistory. 615 0$aPatriarchy$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 676 $a305.4/09/02 700 $aBloch$b R.
