This book gathers the most recent scholarship on the historicization of masculinity by the most original and widely respected thinkers in this relatively new field. By using the analytical tools of queer theory these international, interdisciplinary scholars have reconfigured the history of sexuality in radically altering how we think about sexuality and how we write history. This book is a timely benchmark in answering and raising questions about male love, sex, friendship, and intimacy in the early modern era. It is a revaluation that takes into account how widely this matter has been debated over the last ten years and is an invaluable contribution to Gay, Lesbian and Queer Studies; sexual, social and cultural history and Early Modern and Enlightenment Studies more generally.

Industry Reviews

'This is a well-conceived and provocative collection that will be important not only to historians of sexuality but to social and cultural historians generally. The essays are focused, original and often surprising, and point toward significant new areas of study. The book is a moving and appropriate tribute to the work of the late Alan Bray.' - Professor Stephen Orgel, Department of English, Stanford University

'These substantial and accomplished essays focus on a precise but densely resonant period, unravelling the links between sexuality, friendship, manhood and subjectivity. A confident, stimulating and entirely readable collection by some of the top experts in the field, with implications for the whole idea of sexuality' - Professor Alan Sinfield, Sussex University

'An impressive and wide-ranging collection, whose contributors, including David Halperin, Alan Stewart, and Mario Di Gangi, are leaders in the field of early modern queer studies.' - Huntington Library Quarterly

'A very welcome contribution to the histories of sexuality, masculinity, and emotion. This collection is an important development in the history of masculinity. It is also an example of how this field is leading the way in gender history.' - Men and Masculinities
