The themes of tribalism and medievalism unite this wide-ranging collection of essays.
Essays address queer medievalisms in and around Gwen Lally’s historical pageants and Radclyffe Hall’s
The Well of Loneliness; Robert Glück’s 1994 novel
Margery Kempe; and forms of gender tribalism in and around Josephine Butler’s
Catharine of Siena: A Biography. Gender is further explored alongside the central theme, with surveys of tribal gendering of masculinity in C. S. Lewis’s
Prince Caspian and its film; tribalism in medievalist bandits beyond Robin Hood and his ‘merry’ band; and tribal gendering of femininity in the films
Brave and
Sleeping Beauty. There are also contributions on colonialist tribalism in the staging of
Camelot in Richard E. Grant’s film
Wah-Wah; nationalistic tribalism in German pride, refracted through American frontier attitudes towards Native Americans; tribal perspectives of Native Americans in Guy Gavriel Kay’s
Fionavar Tapestry; the death of Optimus Prime in
Transformers: The Movie as an act that stirs fans’ tribal passions; and Carolingian legends as both reflecting and superseding tribal affiliations in twentieth-century America.
