Gravdal demonstrates the variety of techniques through which medieval discourse made rape acceptable: sometimes through humor and aestheticization, sometimes through the use of social and political themes, but especially through the romanticism of rape scenes. 410 0$aNew cultural studies series. 606 $aFrench literature$yTo 1500$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen$xCrimes against$zFrance$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aWomen and literature$zFrance$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aWomen$zFrance$xHistory$yMiddle Ages, 500-1500 606 $aRape$zFrance$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aRape victims in literature 606 $aSex crimes in literature 606 $aRape in literature 606 $aLaw, Medieval 607 $aFrance$xSocial conditions$y987-1515 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen$xCrimes against$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 615 0$aRape$xHistory 615 0$aRape victims in literature. 615 0$aSex crimes in literature. 615 0$aRape in literature. 615 0$aLaw, Medieval. 676 $a840.9/355/0902 700 $aGravdal$b Kathryn$01584951 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778980403321 996 $aRavishing maidens$93869104 997 $aUNINA
