Combining critical theorywith a rigurous reading of medieval texts, Cohen asksif the category "human" isn´t too small to contain the multiplicity of identities. as such, this book is the first to argue for a "posthuman" Middle Ages and to make extensive use of the philosophical writings of Gilles Deleuze to rethink the medieval.

Among the topics that Cohen covers are the passionate bond between men and horses in chivalric training; the interrreltion of demons, celibacy , and colonialism in an Anglo-Saxon saint´s life ; Lancelot´s masochism as envisioned by Chrétien de Troyes; the voice of thunder echoing from Margery Kempe; and the fantasies that sustained some dominant conceptions of race.
