Burgwinkle illustrates how 'sodomy' becomes a problematic feature of narratives of romance and knighthood. Most texts of the period denounce sodomy and use accusations of sodomitical practice as a way of maintaining a sacrificial climate in which masculine identity is set in opposition to the stigmatised other, for example the foreign, the feminine, and the heretical. What emerges from these readings, however, is that even the most homophobic, masculinist and normative texts of the period demonstrate an inability or unwillingness to separate the sodomitical from the orthodox. These blurred boundaries allow readers to glimpse alternative, even homoerotic, readings. 410 0$aCambridge studies in medieval literature. 606 $aHomosexuality in literature 606 $aSodomy in literature 606 $aMasculinity in literature 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHomosexuality$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aSodomy$zEurope$xHistory 615 0$aHomosexuality in literature. 615 0$aSodomy in literature. 615 0$aMasculinity in literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHomosexuality$xHistory. 615 0$aSodomy$xHistory. 676 $a820.9384 700 $aBurgwinkle$b William E.$f1951-$0223701 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824262903321 996 $aSodomy, masculinity, and law in medieval literature$94021987 997 $aUNINA
