Posterity
remembers
Lady Godiva for her naked horseback ride through the city of Coventry,
but that is only part of her story. This book investigates who Lady
Godiva
was, how the story of her ride arose, and how the whole Godiva legend
has
evolved from the thirteenth century through to the present day.
- Traces the erotic
myth of Lady Godiva back to its medieval origins.
- Based
on scholarly
research but written to be accessible to general readers.
- Combines history,
literature, art and folklore.
- Focuses
on
the twin themes of voyeurism and medievalism.
- Contributes
to our understanding of cultural history, medievalism and the history
of
sexuality.
