How to order this book

Premodern Sexualities offers rigorous new approaches to current problems in the historiography of sexuality. From queer readings of early modern medical texts to transcribing and interrogating pre-modern documents of sexual transgression, the contributors bring together current theoretical discourses of sexuality while emphasizing problems in historicist interpretations of early textualizations of sexuality.
