This is a major new survey of the social and cultural history
來源:香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk of sexuality in early modern Europe. Within a frame that includes
the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Scientific Revolution, and
the Enlightenment, it weaves together statistical findings,
discussions of changing sexual ideology, and evidence of belief
structures regarding family, religion, science, crime, and
deviance. While broad in overall scope and coverage, the
transformations are framed to highlight the narrative of change
over time within each domain. By emphasizing the interrelationship
between practices and ideological change - in family form,
religious organization, medical logic, legal structures, and
notions of deviancy - Katherine Crawford''s accessible survey
reveals how these changes produced the conditions in which our
modern notions of sexuality were developed. This book will be
essential reading for students of early modern European history and
the history of sexuality.
