Genders and Sexualities in History Series Editors: John H. Arnold, Joanna Bourke and Sean Brady
Historical studies of gender and sexuality have often been treated as disconnected fields, while in recent years historical analyses in these two areas have synthesised, creating new departures in historiography. By linking genders and sexualities with questions of religion, civil society, politics and the contexts of war and conflict, this series will reflect recent developments in scholarship, moving away from the previously dominant and narrow histories of science, scientific thought and legal processes. The result brings together scholarship from contemporary, modern, early modern, medieval, classical and non-Western history to provide a diachronic forum for scholarship that incorporates new approaches to genders and sexualities in history. Authority, Gender and Emotions in Late Medieval and Early Modern England brings issues of gender into dialogue with the highly fertile ‘new history of the emotions’. The contributing authors tackle a range of different specific topics – from the pedagogic treatment of sin, to political ‘anxiety’ regarding social order, to the Shakespearean representation of love – but all share a strong interest in how ‘emotion’ (as potentially both innate human affect, and as culturally constructed norms) intersects with issues of gender, sex, and sexuality. These intersections are not only social, but political – not only within the politics of the household, but also the fraught politics of late medieval and early modern civic government. The essays tackle a fascinating variety of different sources: letters, preaching tales, ballads and plays, guild records, early print books, embroidery, conduct manuals, trial records and more. This excellent collection demonstrates also how productive it can be to discuss such topics across the medieval/early modern divide. Titles include: John H.
