- This monograph is the outcome of five years of research (one year full time). It integrates insights from lifespan developmental psychology and psychoanalytic theory into the analysis of literary and historical texts from across medieval Europe. These texts were composed in nine different medieval languages; consequently the book utilises critical literature in four or five modern languages. The chronological range (500-1500) called for specialised historical contextualisation across different cultures during that millennium. Working across psychology, history and literary studies, it makes a key interdisciplinary intervention in the fields of comparative medieval literature, history of the family, and sibling studies.
