Abstract

This essay won the 2007 Literature Compass Graduate Essay Prize, Medieval Section. The Middle English romance The Sultan of Babylon narrates several conversion sequences in which Saracen individuals cross (or attempt to cross) the religious boundary into Christianity. Exhibiting varying degrees of resistance and eagerness to exchange their religious identity, these potential converts in turn encounter varying degrees of acceptance from the Christian community. Through a close examination of repetition and language details, this essay examines the conversion of the Saracen prince Ferumbras. His masculine gender impedes his integration into the community of Christian knights, troubling idealized Christian identity and serving as a more threatening challenge to the maintenance of difference than the conversions of various ‘Others’ in the poem, such as Ferumbras's sister and the baby giants. The ‘unconscious’ anxieties the text manifests about Ferumbras's conversion reveal the way in which the text constructs and maintains Christian identity through the recognition of difference, and the function gender serves as alternately a stabilizing and destabilizing force.
