In Black Metaphors, Cord J. Whitaker argues that rhetoric and theology establish blackness and whiteness as metaphors for sin and purity in medieval English and European wri�ng. Whitaker shows how these metaphors came to guide the development of no�ons of race in the centuries that followed.
Uri Zvi Shachar examines one of the most contested and ideologically loaded issues in medieval history, the clash between Chris�ans, Muslims, and Jews that we call the Crusades.

Mass produced of �n-lead alloys and cheap to purchase, medieval badges were brooch-like objects displaying familiar images. Sumptuously illustrated, Medieval Badges considers all badges, whether they originated in religious or secular contexts, and highlights the ways in which badges could confer meaning and iden�ty on their wearers.
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS

Standing on Holy Ground in the Middle Ages illuminates how the floor surface shaped the ways in which people in medieval western Europe and beyond experienced sacred spaces. The ground beneath our feet plays a crucial, yet o�en overlooked, role in our rela�onship with the environments we inhabit and the spaces with which we interact.
The Ero�cs of Grief considers how emo�ons propagate power by exploring whose lives are grieved and what kinds of grief are valuable within and ero�cized by medieval narra�ves. Megan Moore argues that grief is not only rou�nely ero�cized in medieval literature but that it is a founda�onal emo�on of medieval elite culture.

The Permeable Self offers medievalists new insight into the appeal and dangers of the ero�cs of pedagogy; the remarkable influence of courtly romance conven�ons on hagiography and mys�cism; and the unexpected ways that pregnancy—o�en devalued in mothers—could be posi�vely ascribed to men, virgins, and God.
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Trans Historical explores the plurality of gender experiences that flourished before the modern era, from Late An�quity to the eighteenth century, across a broad geographic range, from Spain to Poland and Byzan�um to Boston.

Medieval felons could take sanctuary from prosecu�on in any church, but far from sta�c refuge, sanctuary staged dynamic ac�on, even violence. While sanctuary has usually been analyzed as part of legal history, in Uncertain Refuge Elizabeth Allen explores the symbolic consequences of sanctuary seeking in English literary works.

This book shows that the founda�onal object of study of medieval linguis�c thought was vox nonsignifica�va, the u�erance insofar as it means nothing whatsoever, and that this fact was not lost on medieval writers of various kinds.
