Reviews

Not just an important contribution to early modern and trans studies, but an essential work of transfeminist scholarship. Kadin Henningsen - Trans Studies Quarterly The scope of this monograph is ambitious [and] would be of interest to a wide audience not only for those working on early modern literature but also to any working on gender and sexuality across historical periods and geographic boundaries. Vanessa Wright, University of Leeds
