I was leafing through the Boydell and Brewer catalogue in the student lounge of the Centre for Medieval Studies just now. It's a good thing it didn't come with a Buy Now button, or I'd be even poorer than I already am. Check out these titles.

Medieval Obscenities, edited by Nicola F. McDonald. "The essays examine topics as diverse as Norse defecation taboos, the Anglo-Saxon sexual idiom, sheela-na-gigs, impotence in the church courts, bare ecclesiastical bottoms, rude sounds and dirty words, as well as the modern reception and representation of the medieval obscene."

Wolves and Wilderness in the Middle Ages by Aleksander Pluskowski. "The wolf, a common metaphor for vice in medieval Christian literature, is today an iconic symbol of the intense fear and insecurity that some associate with the middle ages. In reality, responses to wolves varied across medieval Europe. Although not dependent on the wilderness, wolves were conceptually linked to this environment - which although on the fringes of medieval society, became increasingly exploited from the eighth to fourteenth centuries, so bringing people and livestock closer to the wolf."

Obscenities is already in the U of T collection, but Wolves isn't yet. I wonder whom I should lobby if I want the library system to buy a particular book?
