Abstract

“In the earliest versions [of the Loathly Lady tales], the Irish sovereignty hag tales, her excessive body allegorizes the nature of sovereignty; the Loathly Lady is the shape of success in power contestation. Because the vehicle of the allegory is gendered, however, and because the motif’s fictional flesh is sexually active, these ideas about control are entangled with personal power politics. These factors make the motif curiously promiscuous, an intersection of ideas that generates other ideas, sometimes unexpectedly, always provocatively. . . . “ This volume concentrates on the medieval English Loathly Lady tales, written a little later than the Irish tales, and developing the motif as a vehicle for social ideology. Geoffrey Chaucer’s “Wife of Bath’s Tale” and John Gower’s “Tale of Florent” are the better known of the English Loathly Lady tales, but “The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle,” the balladic versions—the “Marriage of Sir Gawain” and “King Henry” (and even “Thomas of Erceldoune”)—all use shape-shifting female flesh to convey ideas about the nature of women, about heretosexual relations, and about national identity.”—from the Introduction
