Product Description

The Medieval Chastity Belt: A Myth-Making Process (The New Middle Ages)

Used Book in Good Condition

The chastity belt is one of those objects people have commonly identified with the 'dark' Middle Ages. This book analyzes the origin of this myth and demonstrates how a convenient misconception, or contorted imagination, of an allegedly historical practice has led to profoundly flawed interpretations of control mechanisms used by jealous husbands.
