Description:

This interesting comparative study of the relationship between blood and gender in medieval literature considers how blood is associated with cultural values and how those values might be understood in light of blood's ubiquity as a metaphor and literal agent. . . . . Recommended.--Choice

Review Quotes: "Succeeds commendably as a feat of scholarship and careful presentation of often highly theoretical ideas."-- "The Medieval Review"
