- Description
- Book about Morgan la Fey, the sister of King Arthur in Arthurian literature. It explores the shifting portrayal of Morgan from Celtic Sovereignity goddess to cartoon supervillain and it reveals her identity through an investigation of the 'enchantress' evolution over the past millennium and its implications for gender relations today. While Western culture consistently seeks to control female sexuality by categorizing a woman's identity into either a mother or a lover, i.e. a Madonna or a whore, Morgan offers a unique duality, a refusal to let her identity be fractured. Here, Kristina Pérez makes the connection between the tension between those two roles and Morgan la Fey's descent within Arthurian legend from goddess to witch. .

- Description
- The volume contains two theoretical sections supplemented by case-studies of gender through specific practices such as mysticism, witchcraft, crime, and legal behaviour. The first section, ‘Historiography and the politics of gender’, analyzes certain notions, such as patriarchy and morality. The second section, ‘Female spirituality, relogion, and gender identities’, seeks to deepen this analysis into the studies of female identities in various situations, cultures and dimensions and to show the fluidity and flexibility of what is called femininity nowadays. The third part, ‘Gendered witches and Nordic patriarchal compromises’, seeks to rethink the bigger narratives through the case-studies coming from Northern Europe to see how conventional ideas of gender did not work in this particular region.
