In the illuminating and entertaining blog Going Medieval, Eleanor Janega, a medievalist at the London School of Economics, upends prevalent misconceptions about medieval Europe.These misunderstandings include that people didn't bathe ( they did) and that these were the Dark Ages*.Her new book, The Once and Future Sex, is subtitled "Going Medieval on Women's Roles in Society," and that's exactly what she does-if by "going medieval" you intend the pop culture meaning of "dismembering in a barbaric manner" which, despite her protestations, you probably do.
