JJ Cohen, Sex Symbol

I was looking through an old issue of Arthuriana (12.2, Summer 2002), and ran across a review of JJ Cohen's The Postcolonial Middle Ages (a book which I thought was pretty good, even though I'm no friend of postcolonial ideology). The review contained the following passage:

...medievalists have since been labouring hard to make themselves intellectually respectable again, if not downright sexy to boot.

There you have it, in print, ladies and gentlemen. JJ Cohen of In the Middle is not just intellectually respectable ... he's downright sexy to boot.
