Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Pennsylvania, 2003.

In medieval western literature, the home/exile binary has three distinct but interrelated valences: political, familial and spiritual. The kindred is the fundamental context for engagement with the wider community of the homeland; Christian theology draws upon images of family and polity to describe the relationship between God and humanity. The gendered nature of medieval social relations is reflected in the depiction of exile and homecoming in hagiography and romance. Of particular interest to me are those tales in which a woman is driven from home by the threat of paternal incest (AT 510B in Aarne's folktale typology). In the thirteenth-century Latin Vita Dympnae et Gereberni, Saint Dympna flees Ireland to escape her father's desire and to establish an ideal eremetic community; he pursues and martyrs her. Her deliberate choice of exile is characterized as both the act of a femina virilis and the nuptial journey of a sponsa Christi . Repudiating her ties to family and polity, she gains the freedom to pursue her spiritual commitments, yet the familial and political structures she rejects shape her community in exile. In the fourteenth-century Middle English romance Emare, the eponymous protagonist is banished on two different occasions---once by her father for refusing to marry him, once through the machinations of the woman whose son she does marry---but returns triumphant as the mother of an heir to two kingdoms. Exile in this text is primarily a family affair, and Emare's response to it is typically feminine. She does not choose exile, but endures it; her homecoming is achieved not through conquest, but through stage---management. What power she wields arises from her maternity; its exercise is linked with her care for her son and the perpetuation of the patrilineages with which she is affiliated. In each case, navigating exile challenges the woman outcast's ability to maintain her balance. Her survival requires her to be true to her allegiances even when that web of loyalties is tangled to the breaking point.
