Reviews

""Focusing on the critically neglected category of unmarried men and judiciously engaging with recent work on queerness, transgender studies, and race, The Single Life significantly advances our understanding of manhood, marriage, and sexuality in early modern English drama and culture."" --Mario DiGangi, author of ""The Winter's Tale"" Language and Writing. ""The Single Life has breadth and ambition, and it takes seriously the relevance of early modern literature to theoretical conversations that are often confined to contemporary texts."" --James M. Bromley, author of Clothing and Queer Style in Early Modern English Drama
