Whereas some literary motifs such as the tyrant, the beggar, and the crone have equivalents in the real world, the Loathly Lady is a creature of the imagination. Yet she is not merely a whimsical fantasy. This volume concentrates on the medieval English Loathly Lady tales, which develop the motif as a vehicle for social ideology. One of the primary agendas of this collection is to promote the non-canonical Loathly Ladies as worthwhile subjects for scholarly consideration. The examinations here of the medieval English Loathly Lady tales engage with a myriad of concerns, including anxieties about virginity and sex, power and assimilation, beauty and beastliness. These broad examinations of this enigmatic literary motif are an excellent contribution to the field and will be of great interest to scholars.

WHAT DO WOMEN MOST DESIRE? Young squire Brandywine believes he knows the answer to this riddle. He has always been a favorite with the damsels, excelling in jousting, drinking, and romance. But when an ancient and powerful force threatens his kingdom and this riddle becomes the means of defeating the enemy, he learns just how wrong he is. There are many women in his life, each with her own desire, but only the Loathly Lady holds the riddle's true answer. To save his kingdom and become the hero, dare he pay her price? Rooted in the old Celtic myths and the chivalry tales of King Arthur's court, The Loathly Lady is a breathtaking epic fantasy from a major new talent.

At the end of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, when Bertilak de Hautdesert reveals Morgan le Fay's involvement in Gawain's quest, the Pearl Poet introduces a difficult problem for scholars and students of the text. Morgan appears out of nowhere, and it is difficult to understand the poet's intentions for including her so late in his narrative. The premise for this thesis is that the loathly lady motif helps explain Morgan's appearance and Gawain's symbolic importance in the poem. Through a study of the loathly lady motif, I argue it is possible that the Pearl Poet was using certain aspects of the motif to inform his story. Chapter one of this thesis will focus on the origins of the loathly lady motif and the literary origins of Morgan le Fay. In order to understand the connotations of the loathly lady stories, it is important to study both the Irish tales and the later English versions of the motif. My study of Morgan will trace her beginnings as a pagan healer goddess to her later variations in French and Middle English literature. The second chapter will discuss the influential women in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and their specific importance to the text. It will examine Queen Guinevere, Bertilak's lady and Morgan le Fay. This chapter will also analyze three contemporary Middle English texts: John Gower's The Tale of Florent, Geoffrey Chaucer's The Wife of Bath's Tale, and "The Weddyng of Syr Gawen to Dame Ragnell." The loathly lady motif was popular at the end of the fourteenth century, which lends evidence to the argument that the Pearl Poet was familiar with the motif. Finally, the third chapter will provide an exploration of Gawain's role as the loathly lady's knight and the symbolism of Gawain's shield and green girdle, the setting of Hautdesert and the Green Chapel, and the Pearl Poet's emphasis on family relations. Ultimately, I argue that Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is an untraditional loathly lady story that uses the motif's themes and symbolism to emphasize the poem's feminine landscape and the importance of Morgan le Fay.

Ecocritical Menopause: Women, Literature, Environment, “The Change” is the first volume of its kind to bring together cross-sectional ecofeminist voices privileging women’s menopausal positionality within literary works. This collection reexamines menopause across the disciplinary fields of ecofeminism and ecocriticism as clearly the most neglected phase of the menstrual cycle and aims to develop a critical discourse in counterpoint to the persistent cultural and critical legacies that sustain underrating women in midlife. In highlighting selected literary representations of female being in transition, this volume includes: • Exploration of the core motifs mediating the fashioning of menopausal women, including biology, the body, body shaming, climacterium, hysteria, the crone/hag figure, femininity, gender, identity, reproduction, sexlessness and asexuality • Reexamination of histo-cultural biases that continue to perpetuate a devaluation of women after menopause, such as ageism, degeneration, loss of fertility and myths of essentialism, patriarchy and hegemony, social taboos, the medicalization of menopause, and cultural “menophobia” • Analysis of literature genres in which we find portraitures of peri/post/menopause subjectivity, such as autofiction, crime fiction, detective fiction, folktales, frame tale, fiction, mystery, poetry, short story, and the “whodonit.”
