Reviews for Love, Sex, Intimacy and Friendship Between Men, 1550-1800

'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
