The book explores the topic in the late medieval lyric genre known as the \u003ci\u003epastourelle\u003c\/i\u003e and in related literary works, including chivalric romance, devotional lyric, saints' lives, and the works of major authors such as Margery Kempe and William Dunbar. By engaging issues that are important to feminist activism today--the gray areas of sexual consent, the enduring myth of false rape allegations, and the emancipatory potential of writing about survival--this volume demonstrates how the radical terms of the \u003ci\u003epastourelle\u003c\/i\u003e might reshape our own thinking about consent, agency, and survivors' speech and help uncover cultural scripts for talking about sexual violence today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to embodying the possibilities of medievalist feminist criticism after #MeToo, \u003ci\u003eRape Culture and Female Resistance in Late Medieval Literature\u003c\/i\u003e includes an edition of sixteen Middle English and Middle Scots \u003ci\u003epastourelles.\u003c\/i\u003e The poems are presented in a critical framework specifically tailored to the undergraduate classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong with the editors, the contributors to this volume include Lucy M.
