Reviews

'In his excellent study of queer issues in eighteenth-century Spanish literature, Mehl Allan Penrose applies a wide array of thinking about the nature of erotic acts and the sociohistorical considerations relative to them. Focusing on male writers, Penrose convincingly analyzes representations of the homoerotic in the writing of major figures in Spanish literature.' David William Foster, Arizona State University, USA
