Yue Fei and Thomas Becket: Elite Masculinities in Comparison

Research output: Chapters, Conference Papers, Creative and Literary WorksRGC 12 - Chapter in an edited book (Author)peer-review

Abstract

Thinking about political communication in China and Latin Europe during the Middle Ages inevitably entails notions of masculinity. It is easy to take for granted that both political cultures were intensely patriarchal, but to understand this in historical terms — rather than as a product of biology or ‘human nature’ — we will take specific phenomena as our starting point, namely the cases of Yue Fei and Thomas Becket.
