Review # 1 was written on 2012-11-16 00:00:00 Adam Hendricks Exciting study of the sodomite as he (and, arguably, sometimes 'she') appears in a selection of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century texts; the section on Cleland's 'Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure' is particularly insightful.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-26 00:00:00 Brett Morris very interesting and openly "anachronistic" reading of same sex desire in the renaissance. traub discusses the meaning of "chastity" as it relates to sexual "between women" relationships. she also addresses the changes taking place in the meaning of heterosexuality during this time, and connects changing attitudes toward lesbians to "new" heterosexuality romanticism.
