The Middle Ages

This introductory chapter provides an overview of the book's main themes. This book discusses a project based on the E. H. Gombrich Lectures given at the Warburg Institute in 2014. The author had become fascinated with the tradition of boys performing emotional speeches in women's voices in schools and the evidence from manuscripts indicating that this tradition persisted during the Middle Ages, as well as before and after. The three chapters in this book begin with a boy: the historical Augustine who weeps for the suicide of a fictional queen; young Achilles waking up in a strange new land where he will be asked to pretend to be a young woman; and an anonymous boy in a medieval lyric poem who performs a woman's lament for her dead lover. Each provides a different window into three interrelated aspects of medieval teaching: emotion, gender, and performance, with special emphasis on emotion.
