Eloquent Virgins: The Rhetoric of Virginity from Thecla to Joan of Arc - The New Middle Ages
M. McInerney
The tales of the virgin martyrs inevitably emphasize the torture and mutilation of beautiful young women. This book explores the ability of the virgin body to generate contradictory meanings, both repressive and liberating, depending on who told the tale and how it was told.
