330 .. $a In "Dark Age Bodies" Lynda L. Coon reconstructs the gender ideology of monastic masculinity
through an investigation of early medieval readings of the body. Focusing on the Carolingian
era, Coon evaluates the ritual and liturgical performances of monastic bodies within
the imaginative landscapes of same-sex ascetic communities in northern Europe. She
demonstrates how the priestly body plays a significant role in shaping major aspects
of Carolingian history, such as the revival of classicism, movements for clerical
reform, and church-state relations. In the political realm, Carolingian churchmen
consistently exploited monastic constructions of gender to assert the power of the
monastery. Stressing the superior qualities of priestly virility, clerical elites
forged a model of gender that sought to feminize lay male bodies through a variety
of textual, ritual, and spatial means. Focusing on three central themes-the body,
architecture, and ritual practice-the book draws from a variety of visual and textual
materials, including poetry, grammar manuals, rhetorical treatises, biblical exegesis,
monastic regulations, hagiographies, illuminated manuscripts, building plans, and
cloister design. Interdisciplinary in scope, "Dark Age Bodies" brings together scholarship
in architectural history and cultural anthropology with recent works in religion,
classics, and gender to present a significant reconsideration of Carolingian culture.
