T1 Re-dressing the Boundaries: The Challenge to Gender Identity in Two Fictional Twelfth-century Communities
A1 McLeod, Amanda J.
AB In this article I would like to examine the way in which two modernScottish historical novelists, Margaret Elphinstone in Islanders, andSimon Taylor in Mortimer’s Deep, have examined gender through therecreation of twelfth-century communities. Each author has chosen aperipheralised geographical location which in some way represents anideological frontier; in Islanders a frontier resistant to the influence ofChristianity, and in Mortimer’s Deep, the challenge of homosexual desireto the frontiers of religious doctrine. Although each novel dealswith a different aspect of twelfth-century society, this article discussesthe fact that in both novels temporal location is significant in terms ofrelocating gender identities.
