Contesting Medieval Masculinities

What separates studying men from studying masculinities?

Baines Wing SR 3.06  University of Leeds

Medieval men have been the focus of intense scholarly inquiry. From kings and knights to clerics and soldiers, their deeds have traditionally been considered the stuff of history. But while their actions and writings are scrutinised for their political, religious, and military value, relatively little is still being said about what makes a man. As Jacqueline Murray has pointed out, male experience tends to be universalised as human experience, therefore men tend to be overlooked as subjects of sexed and gendered study. Particular fields have been quicker to embrace the study of masculine identities, but can masculinity as a lens of study enrich those areas that have been more reluctant to consider gender? What separates studying men from studying masculinities?
