Description
Before the eighteenth-century rise of the ideology of intimacy, sexuality was defined not by social affiliations but by bodies. Daniel Juan Gil examines sixteenth-century English literary concepts of sexuality that frame erotic ties as neither bound by social customs nor transgressive of them, but rather as "loopholes" in people's experiences and associations.
