Extract: »In April of 2022, I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation on medieval English raptus laws, eyre court cases, and literary scenes of sexual violence. After submitting my dissertation, I thought that there was nothing else I could possibly have to say about this topic, but within a matter of months I was proven wrong. As will be discussed throughout this essay, considering modern-day sport culture encourages medievalists to re-read historical cases of sexual assault with multiple people present as group rapes, and to reevaluate the historiographical silence on non-penetrative participants in medieval cases of sexual assault.« (Source: Article)
