Reviews

‘… this book is highly stimulating and delightful. Masterson has a gift for covering much ground economically and with sophistication and verve. His readings are lucid and mostly compelling, despite the complexity of ideas’ - Speculum 98/4 (October 2023). ‘Masterson’s book is a meaningful contribution to those seeking to undertake a queer approach to Byzantine sources’ - Journal of the History of Sexuality, Volume 32, Number 3, September 2023.
