Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic BookIn Covert Operations, Karma Lochrie brings the categories and cultural meanings of secrecy in the Middle Ages out into the open. Isolating five broad areasconfession, women's gossip, medieval science and medicine, marriage and the law, and sodomitic discourseLochrie examines various types of secrecy and the literary texts in which they are played out. She reads texts as central to Middle English studies as the 'Parson's Tale,' the 'Miller's Tale,' the Secretum Secretorum, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight as well as a broad range of less familiar works, including a gynecological treatise and a littleknown fifteenthcentury parody in which gossip and confession become one. As she does so she reveals a great deal about the medieval pastand perhaps just as much about the early development of the concealments that shape the present day.
