02 This collection is the first to examine the relation of grief and gender from 700-1700 in the literature and visual arts of England, France, Italy, and Germany.

The collection features original essays by leading authorities in literature and art history, who approach the timely subject of grief and gender from a wide range of theoretical perspectives, including psychoanalysis, historicism, feminism, and cultural materialism and in terms of theories of masculinity and intertextuality.
