- Summary:
- The Routledge History of Sex and the Body is a landmark publication that provides an overview of the main themes surrounding the history of sexuality from 1500 to the present day. An expanding field in which vibrant debate on, for instance, the history of homosexuality, is developing, this volume is a timely contribution to the field, laying out the current scholarship and looks towards future directions. Focusing on the history of sexuality and the body in the West but also interactions with a broader globe, The Routledge History of Sex and the Body thematically surveys the major areas of discussion. Covering themes such as science, identity, the gaze, courtship, reproduction, sexual violence and the importance of race, the volume offers a comprehensive view of the history of sexuality and the body. Each thematic part is divided into two chronological chapters by different contributors, and each piece works both independently and in conjunction with each other. Including contributors renowned in their field of expertise, this ground-breaking collection is essential reading for all those interested in the history of sexuality and the body. Book jacket.
