Sexuality and Its Queer Discontents in Middle English Literature * Abandoning Desires, Desiring Readers, and the Divinely Queer Triangle ofPearl * Queering Harry Bailly: Gendered Carnival, Social Ideologies, and Masculinity under Duress in the Canterbury Tales * ?He nedes moot unto the pley assente?: Queer Fidelities and Contractual Hermaphroditism in Chaucer?s Clerk?s Tale * From Boys to Men to Hermaphrodites to Eunuchs: Queer Formations of Romance Masculinity and the Hagiographic Death Drive in Amis and Amiloun * Queer Castration, Patriarchal Privilege, and the Comic Phallus in Eger and Grime * Compulsory Queerness and the Pleasures of Medievalism --.

Sexuality and Its Queer Discontents in Middle English Literature exposes the ways in which ostensibly normative sexualities depend upon queerness to shore up their claims of privilege. Through readings of such classic texts as The Canterbury Tales, Pearl, Amis and Amiloun, and Eger and Grime,Tison Pugh explains how sexual normativity can often be claimed only after queerness has been rejected, no matter how appealing such queerness might remain at the story's end. Masculinity itself is thus revealed to be a queer performance, one which heroic protagonists ofmedieval narratives embody while nonetheless highlighting its constricting limitations.
