Description: Uniting feminist, formalist, and material historical approaches, explores how symbolic and literal hawking women resisted patriarchal control in medieval culture.
Review Quotes: "A fascinating exploration ... Hawking Women is an astute and rewarding volume that is as successful in its study of medieval falconry as it is in its stimulating readings of a satisfying range of medieval texts. Scholars of medieval romance will find much to appreciate in this work, which combines well conducted close readings with excellent engagement with secondary scholarship." --Randy P. Schiff, The Medieval Review
