Abstract:
Sexual Types focuses on six figures from the early modern stage-the sodomite, the tribade, the narcissistic courtier, the citizen wife, the bawd, and the court favorite-that reveal in particularly compelling ways, how sexual transgressions were understood to intersect with social, gender, economic, and political transgressions.
