The Third Gender and Aelfric's Lives of Saints by Rhonda L. McDaniel (Old Englis

Description: The Third Gender and Aelfric's Lives of Saints by Rhonda L. McDaniel "The Third Gender" considers Ælfric of Eynshams treatment of gender as he translates Latin monastic saints Lives for his Anglo-Saxon lay audience. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE Old English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In The Third Gender, McDaniel addresses the idea of the "third gender" in early hagiography and Latin treatises on virginity and then examines Aelfrics treatment of gender in his translations of Latin monastic Lives for his non-monastic audiences. She first investigates patristic ideas about a "third gender" by describing this concept within the theoretical frameworks of monasticism and then turns to creating a historical and theological cultural context within which to locate an interpretation of Aelfrics portrayals of male and female saints. Author Biography Rhonda L. McDaniel is Professor of English at Middle Tennessee State University and is interested in Anglo-Saxon studies, hagiography, manuscript studies, memory, and gender.
