Infos

Historicising Gender and Sexuality features a diverse
collection of essays that shed new light on the historical
intersections between gender and sexuality across time and space.

* Demonstrates both the particularities of specific formulations
of gender and sexuality and the nature of the relationship between
the categories themselves

* Presents evidence that careful and contextualised analysis of
the shifting relationship of gender and sexuality illuminates
broader historical processes
