Since 2016, Medieval Studies has been rocked by conversations about the state of the field, shifting from #MeToo to #WhiteFeminism to the purposeful rethinking of the label ?Anglo-Saxonist.? This volume takes a step toward decentering the traditional scholarly conversation with thirteen new essays by American, Canadian, European, and UK professors, along with independent scholars and early career researchers from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Topics range from virginity, women?s literacy, and medical discourse to affect, medievalism, and masculinity. The theoretical and political commitments of this volume comprise one strand of a multivalent effort to rethink the parameters of the discipline and to create a scholarly community that is innovative, inclusive, and diverse. 410 0$aKnowledge Communities 606 $aEnglish literature$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFeminist literary criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aHISTORY / Europe / Great Britain / Middle Ages (449-1066)$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aMedieval, Old English, women, gender. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFeminist literary criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 7$aHISTORY / Europe / Great Britain / Middle Ages (449-1066). 676 $a829.093522 700 $aNorris$b Robin$01276932 701 $aStephenson$b Rebecca$01276933 701 $aTrilling$b Renee$0609865 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996517772203316 996 $aFeminist Approaches to Early Medieval English Studies$93009649 997 $aUNISA
