ReFormations: Medieval and Early Modern
from University of Notre Dame Press
Questions and challenges the ways in which the academy has divided the study of early English literature and its history into two separate, almost incommensurate realms, medieval and early modern. The series is reforming this practice by publishing a range of literary, historical, and cultural works that will move easily across old divisions.

Details
In the fourth century, clerics began to distinguish themselves from members ofthe laity by virtue of their augmented claims to holiness. Because clerical celibacy was key to this distinction, religious authorities of all stripes—patristic authors, popes, theologians, canonists, monastic founders, and commentators—became progressively sensitive to sexual scandals that involved the clergy and developed sophisticated tactics for concealing or dispelling embarrassing lapses. According to Dyan Elliott, the fear of scandal dictated certain lines of action and inaction, the consequences of which are painfully apparent today. In TheCorrupter of Boys, she demonstrates how, in conjunction with the requirement of clerical celibacy, scandal-averse policies at every conceivable level of theecclesiastical hierarchy have enabled the widespread sexual abuse of boys and male adolescents within the Church.
Elliott examines over a millennium’s worth of doctrine and practice to uncover the origins of a culture of secrecy and concealment of sin. She charts thecontinuities and changes, from late antiquity into the high Middle Ages, in theuse of boys as sexual objects before focusing on four specific milieus in which boys and adolescents would have been especially at risk in the high and later Middle Ages: the monastery, the choir, the schools, and the episcopal court.
The Corrupter of Boys is a work of stunning breadth and discomforting resonance since Elliott concludes that the same clerical prerogatives and privileges that were formulated in late antiquity and the medieval era—and thesame strategies to cover up the abuses they enable—remain very much in place.
