      abstract = {This collection of essays focuses attention on how  medieval gender intersects with other categories of  difference, particularly religion and ethnicity. It treats  the period c.800-1500, with a particular focus on the era  of the Gregorian reform movement, the First Crusade, and  its linked attacks on Jews at home. This volume advances  the study of medieval gender, which in recent years has  started to pay more attention to how gender intersects with  other categories of difference, particularly sexuality but  also religion and ethnicity, which are closely connected.  It considers these intersections through a number of case  studies from the years c. 800--1500, with a particular  focus on c.1050--1150. This was a time of much debate about  the renewed emphasis on clerical chastity and its  implications for the relationship between gender,  sexuality, and authority. It was also the era of the First  Crusade and its linked attacks on Jews at home. Each  chapter in the volume suggests new ways of looking at key  topics and debates, including the Herrenfrage, Orientalism,  and postcolonial theory.},
