Connect to this Database Who should use this database? Those
looking for information about women, sexuality, and gender
during the Middle Ages. What kinds of materials are referenced
in the database? Journal articles, book reviews, and essays in
books. Over 400 journals are indexed in addition to essay
collections. The geographic area covered is Europe, North
Africa, and the Middle East as well as areas in which Europeans
travelled. Subject coverage for gender and sexuality means that
articles on masculinity and male homosexuality are included.
Publications in English, French, German, and Spanish have been
indexed since the project began in 1996. Materials in Italian
began to be included in the database in May 2001. What years
does the database cover? The time period covered is 450 C.E. to
1500 C.E. with Russia extending to 1613, the beginning of the
Romanov dynasty, because the sixteenth century is still medieval
in social and political terms.
