Theologians, lawyers, and secular and church leaders agreed on a unique outline of the institution and its legal framework, the essential features of which remained in force until the 1980s. The medieval Western European definition of marriage was unique: before the legal consequences of marriage came into being, the parties had to promise to engage in sexual union only with one partner and to remain in the marriage until one of the parties died. This requirement had profound implications for inheritance rules and for the organization of the family economy; it was explained and justified in a multitude of theological discussions and legal decisions across all faiths on the European continent. Normative texts, built on the foundations of the scriptures of several religious traditions, provided an impressive intellectual framework around marriage. In addition, developments in iconography, including sculpture and painting, projected the dominant model of marriage, while social, demographic and cultural changes encouraged its adoption. This volume traces the medieval discussion of marriage in practice, law, theology and iconography. It provides an examination of the wider political and economic context of marriage and offers an overview of the ebb and flow of society's ideas about how expressions of human sexuality fit within the confines of a clearly defined social structure and ideology. A Cultural History of Marriage in the Medieval Age presents an overview of the period with essays on Courtship and Ritual; Religion, State and Law; Kinship and Social Networks; the Family Economy; Love and Sex; the Breaking of Vows; and Representations of Marriage.

("where are the women authors of yesteryear?"), and to provide a German-speaking audience with a broad overview of French women writers from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the seventeenth century. In so doing she has written a work in the best tradition of feminist literary history. Her metaphor of the salon, although usually associated with the seventeenth century and writers such as Madeleine de Scudéry, calls up a locus in which women played multifaceted roles-as writers, critics, and patrons-and allows Zimmermann to explore these roles in the preceding centuries. Some thirty women ranging from Baudonivia, a seventh-century nun, author of the Vita Radegundis, an early piece of hagiographic literature, to Marie de Gournay, whose protofeminist tracts were published in the 1620s and 30s, appear in this volume. Most students of French literature will know a few of these writers: for example,
