From the Dust Jacket: "In this extraordinary study Allen J. Frantzen challenges this long accepted view [that the early Middle Ages tolerated and even fostered same-sex relations and that intolerance of homosexuality developed only late in the medieval period], showing that the early medieval Church did not tolerate same-sex acts, and, furthermore, that men and women who preferred homosexual relations pursued their desies in spite of official sanctions. The early medieval period was, Frantzen argues, an age before people recognized the existence -- or the possibility -- of the 'closet.' With its ambitious scope and elegant style, BEFORE THE CLOSET sets same-sex relations in Anglo-Saxon sources in relation to the sexual themes of contemporary opera, dance, and theatre... [Frantzen] offers a comprehensive analysis of sources from the seventh to the twelfth century and traces Anglo-Saxon same-sex behavior through the age of Chaucer and into the Renaissance." .

Frantzen's argument for the existence of this "shadow" homosexuality relies on myriad examples from a wide range of Western culture. From 19th-century trouser roles (male operatic characters sung by women) to Mark Morris's choreography to Tony Kushner's award-winning Angels in America, Frantzen finds correspondences and analogues to far older works of Anglo-Saxon literature such as Beowulf and The Wanderer, along with medieval penitentials (books used by priests to assess the penance for a specific sin). Always enlightening and endlessly provocative, Before the Closet will challenge your preconceptions about both early English poetry and contemporary depictions of gayness. --Michael Bronski
