Anxiety about hybridity surfaces in characters of mixed ethnic identity in the romances. But anxiety is found also in the intersection of the natural and the supernatural and its site can be located inside the human body's unstable physical frame, living and dead, as much as in the cultural and social forces at work upon the human body politic at large. Hybridity is unlike other constructs of difference in that, while it is grounded in difference, hybridity points toward sameness. The four types of hybridity studied in medieval English literature show that hybridity can resolve the problems caused by difference. Understanding medieval hybridity can help us to deal with our own contemporary struggles with the mixtures of our own lives and societies."--Page 4 of cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-244) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : notions of hybridity -- Mixed ethnicity in the romances of medieval England : the hybridity of ethnic identity -- Fathers and Mothers : the case for hybrid identity in medieval Merlin and Melusine romances -- Monsters and shapeshifters : the hybrid body in John Gower's Confessio Amantis -- The living, the dead, and those in-between : the hybridity of dying - Epilogue : hybridity extinguishes itself. 648 7 $a 450-1500 $2 fast 650 0 $a English literature $y Middle English, 1100-1500 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y Old English, ca. 450-1100 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Cultural fusion in literature. 650 7 $a Cultural fusion in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902958 650 7 $a English literature $x Middle English $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710961 650 7 $a English literature $x Old English $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710962 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gasse, Rosanne P. $t Hybridity in the literature of Medieval England. $d Cham : Palgrave Macmillan, [2023] $z 9783031314650 $w (OCoLC)1390152118 830 0 $a New Middle Ages (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012428.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B5F037C2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
