Chapter 8 Conclusion: The Legacy of the Incest MotifReviewsRouillard's book provides fascinating insight into how thirteenth-century French society negotiated with changing ideas about incest, marriage, penance, relics, and gendered speech. Her far-ranging expertise carries this work through romance, theology, law, hagiography, and conduct literature, demonstrating through sheer breadth of example how broadly narratives of incest could signify within medieval society. Rouillard's compelling study makes valuable reading for literary scholars, social historians, and medievalists of all stripes.
