Abstract:
»Shifting the focus on instructional texts to ecclesiastical exempla, in Chapter 13, ‘Shades of Coercion in Medieval Exempla: Adaptations of “The Nun who Saw the World”’, Timi Sgouros examines a popular narrative of an apostate nun who leaves, then returns to, her monastic home, to investigate how medieval clerics preached about ideas of consent, rape, and abduction to nuns under their influence. The evolution and variations upon this story across time demonstrate how changing audience and genre expectations influenced the depiction of coercive relationships and the ownership of nuns’ bodies.«
