Marking maternity in Middle English romance :mothers, identity, and contamination /Angela Florschuetz. - 1 online resource. - The new Middle Ages. - New Middle Ages (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)).

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction: The Mother's Mark and the Maternal Monster -- Women's Secrets and Men's Interests: Rituals of Childbirth and Northern Octavian -- "That Moder Ever Hym Fed": Nursing and Other Anthropophagies in Sir Gowther -- "Youre Owene Thyng:" The Clerk's Tale and Fantasies of Autonomous Male Reproduction -- "A Mooder He Hath, But Fader Hath He Noon:" Maternal Transmission and Fatherless Sons: the Man of Law's Tale -- Forgetting Eleanor: Richard Coer de Lyon and England's Maternal Aporia -- Monstrous Maternity and the Mother-Mark: Melusine as Genealogical Phantom.

Working at the intersection of medical, theological, cultural, and literary studies, "Marking Maternity" offers an innovative approach to understanding maternity, genealogy, and social identity as they are represented in popular literature in late-medieval England. This book examines how Middle English romances have come to reflect the impact of dominant contemporary discourses of maternal influence and contamination upon individuals, communities, and families. Angela Florschuetz goes onto argue while these romances often reference and participate in contemporary discourses that identify the maternal with contamination, they also reframe the problem of maternal influence by focusing on the corrosive effects of these anxieties upon all levels of society.
