Reviews

“should be required reading for any course on medieval social history...it is blessedly clear, provocative, informative, and the product of an author who thoroughly knows the sources, both primary and secondary, for medieval sexual history. I cannot imagine students not loving it, discussing it, arguing about it, and profiting enormously from it. I enjoyed every page of it and believe that it should be in every medieval scholar’s library”—Journal of the History of Sexuality.
