Bray's goal here is simple: examine the lived experiences & cultural understandings of same-sex desire and friendship in early modern England, all without relying on modern terminology for sexuality (ironic given the title). Head over to my BLOG at
www.ryanlawrenceauthor.ca to read my review.

Head over to
www.ryanlawrenceauthor.ca and check out my review of Nineteenth-Century Writings on Homosexuality:
A Sourcebook by Chris White (Editor). A question & quandary anyone interested in gay/queer history eventually runs into: how do you talk about "homosexuality" before the word existed?

On my BLOG! www.ryanlawrenceauthor.ca Jonathan Goldberg’s Queering the Renaissance occupies a seminal, perhaps even radical, place in queer literary & historical studies, particularly for those interested in how same-sex love/desire/gender functioned before the emergence of modern sexual identities.
