Abstract

interpretations that would more fully acknowledge the importance of literary works that document repeatedly and across a number of genres how disguise allows a displacement of the woman's body, a temporary wandering out of its assigned cultural context, which might significantly alter the parameters of that mold. As it stands, Clothes Make theMan provides a useful point of departure for readers wishing to think further about the substantial implications that female cross dressing holds for feminist medieval studies.
