- Collection of essays explores British medieval sexuality and sexual expression in literature. Examines fabliaux and romances of Chaucer, Gower, and Malory; alchemical texts; and satirical poetry of William Dunbar. The Introduction (pp. 1-11) describes the essays included, and compares the "sexual landscape" of George R. R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" and HBO's series "Game of Thrones" with articulations of medieval erotics and sexuality. For individual essays that pertain to Chaucer, search for Sexual Culture in the Literature of Medieval Britain under Alternative Title.
