Abstract

"The Routledge History of Sex and the Body" is a landmark publication that provides an overview of the main themes surrounding the history of sexuality from 1500 to the present day. An expanding field in which vibrant debate on, for instance, the history of homosexuality is developing, this volume is a timely contribution to the field, laying out the current scholarship and looking towards future directions. Focusing on the history of sexuality and the body in the West but also interactions with a broader globe, "The Routledge History of Sex and the Body" thematically surveys the major areas of discussion. Covering themes such as science, identity, the gaze, courtship, reproduction, sexual violence and the importance of race, the volume offers a comprehensive view of the history of sexuality and the body. Each thematic part is divided into two chronological chapters by different contributors, and each piece works both independently and in conjuction with each other. Including contributors renowned in their field of expertise, this ground-breaking collection is essential reading for all those interested in the history of sexuality and the body.

Abstract

The essays in this volume explore varied manifestations of medieval and early modern sexuality. Magic rings; seductive she-devils; satyrs bound and whipped on stage; a woman sexually coerced in the confessional; a boy caught masturbating over a midwifery manual; a marriage of true minds between two men; a prince led to repentance at the sight of a naked girl prepared to give her life for his. These varied manifestations of medieval and early modern sexuality ? each at the center of one of the essays in this volume ? suggest the ubiquity and diversity of eroticism in the period. The erotic is the stuff of legend, but also of daily life. It is inextricable from relations of power and subordination and is plays a fundamental role in the heirarchical social structures of the period. The erotic is also very much a part of the spiritual realm, often in morally ambiguous ways. The seven essays collected in this volume explore the role the erotic played in early modern notions of happiness or fulfillment, in clerical life, in Jewish legend, heretical magic and Christian marriage, in poetry, on the public stage, and in medical manuals.
