Ana Rita Parreiras Reis is a doctoral assistant at the University of Lausanne. Her PhD project explores the construction of discourses on sexual temptation in Middle English texts of religious instruction. More specifically, it wishes to analyse the literary strategies adopted by the authors of such texts to address the risqué subject of carnal desire, and what such stylistic and linguistic choices tell us about the authors’ conceptualisation(s) of sexual temptation as a psychological and moral phenomenon.
