Description:
|
Dealing with questions on the meaning of eroticism in Renaissance England and its separation from other affective relations, "Queer Renaissance Historiography" examines the distinctive arrangement of sexuality during this period, and the role that queer theory has played in our understanding. As such this book not only reflects on the practice of writing a queer history of Renaissance England, but also suggests new directions for this practice. "Queer Renaissance Historiography" collects original contributions from leading experts, participating in a range of critical conversations whilst prompting scholars and students alike to reconsider what we think we know about sex and sexuality in Renaissance England. Presenting ethical, political and critical analyses of Early Modern texts, this book sets the tone for future scholarship on Renaissance sexualities, making a timely intervention in theoretical and methodological debates.
