A monster lurks at the heart of medieval identity, and this book seeks him out. Reading a set of medieval texts in which giants and dismemberment figure prominently, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen brings a critical psychoanalytic perspective to bear on the question of identity formation-particularly masculine identity-in narrative representation. This is a compelling inquiry into the phenomenon of giants and giant-slaying in various texts from the Anglo-Saxon period to late Middle English, including Beowulf, several works by Chaucer, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

I spent 3.5 hours last night reading and taking notes ON THE FIRST CHAPTER. It's not often that I get lost in a theoretical discussion when it comes to medieval lit. but this was one of those times. It doesn't change my mind on Zizek all that much, but it is an interesting psychoanalytic reading of OE poetry at large. ( )
