This book looks at how masculinity is depicted in knightly memoirs in 15th century France. The meaning of male and female sexuality was constructed on a hierarchical scale of one single gender, and not a binary opposition of two biologically distinct bodies. The author shows numerous examples of this trend in the knightly memoirs that support this understanding.

The volume, which is aimed at students, scholars and general readers alike, examines masculinity across medieval Europe (including the Byzantine Empire, Italy, France, Germany, and England) between the fourth and sixteenth centuries.
