ENGL 023. Renaissance Sexualities

The study of sexuality allows us to pose some of the richest historical questions we can ask about subjectivity, the natural, the public, and the private. This course will explore such questions in early modern England, examining several sexual categories (the homoerotic, chastity and friendship, marriage, adultery, and incest) in a range of literary and secondary texts.
