Medieval Mobilities Gendered Bodies, Spaces, and Movements

“Basil Arnould Price, Jane Elizabeth Bonsall, and Meagan Khoury have edited an exciting new anthology that brings issues of gender into scholarship on mobility. The anthology contains three sections, each introduced by a more senior scholar. … Every essay references other essays and makes connections across the volume as a whole. Many collections end up feeling like a miscellany, but this collection has a coherence and shared sense of purpose … .” (Erik Wade, Speculum, Vol. 100 (2), April, 2025)
