  • Description

    This collectoion brings together an outstanding group of historical, cultural, and literary scholars to investigate the complicated, nuanced, and often surprising union and desire and dread associated with the figure of the foreign Other in the Middle Ages–represented variously by Muslims, Jews, heretics, pagans, homosexuals, lepers, monsters, and witches.
