Reviews

"In examining the relationship between blood and gender persuasively, McCracken offers a compelling and original interpretation. The book not only offers a new examination of an important theme in medieval literature, it makes a significant contribution to our understanding of gender in medieval texts."--Simon Gaunt, King's College, London "Succeeds commendably as a feat of scholarship and careful presentation of often highly theoretical ideas."--Medieval Review "This interesting comparative study of the relationship between blood and gender in medieval literature considers how blood is associated with cultural values and how those values might be understood in light of blood's ubiquity as a metaphor and literal agent... Recommended."--Choice
