Abstract

The themes of tribalism and medievalism unite this wide-ranging collection of essays. Essays address queer medievalisms in and around Gwen Lally's historical pageants and Radclyffe Hall's "The Well of Loneliness"; Robert Glück's 1994 novel "Margery Kempe"; and forms of gender tribalism in and around Josephine Butler's "Catharine of Siena: A Biography". Gender is further explored alongside the central theme, with surveys of tribal gendering of masculinity in C.S. Lewis's "Prince Caspian" and its film; tribalism in medievalist bandits beyond Robin Hood and his 'merry' band; and tribal gendering of femininity in the films "Brave" and "Sleeping Beauty". There are also contributions on colonialist tribalism in the staging of Camelot in Richard E. Grant's film "Wah-Wah"; nationalistic tribalism in German pride, refracted through American frontier attitudes towards Native Americans; tribal perspectives of Native Americans in Guy Gavriel Kay's "Fionavar Tapestry"; the death of Optimus Prime in "Transformers: The Movie" as an act that stirs fans' tribal passions; and Carolingian legends as both reflecting and superseding tribal affiliations in twentieth-century America
