S uzannah L ipscomb . The Voices of Nîmes
In The Voices of Nîmes: Women, Sex, and Marriage in Reformation Languedoc, an excellent study of consistorial records in sixteenth-century Languedoc, Susannah Lipscomb excavates the experiences of ordinary women who are often absent from the historical record. Lipscomb brings to light the thoughts and motivations of women, but also the strategies they deployed to make space for themselves within the patriarchal context of the Protestant Reformati…
Formal Modelling Approaches to Complexity Science in Roman Studies
Complexity science refers to the theoretical research perspectives and the formal modelling tools designed to study complex systems. A complex system consists of separate entities interacting following a set of (often simple) rules that collectively give rise to unexpected patterns featuring vastly different properties than the entities that produced them. In recent years a number of case studies have shown that such approaches have great potenti…
Eunuchs and Castrati
Eunuchs and Castrati examines the enduring fascination among historians, literary critics, musicologists, and other scholars around the figure of the castrate. Specifically, the book asks what influence such fascination had on the development and delineation of modern ideas around sexuality and physical impairment. Ranging from Greco-Roman times to the twenty-first century, Katherine Crawford brings together travel accounts, diplomatic records, a…

Jutta Gisela Sperling. Roman Charity
Two stories in Valerius Maximus’s Memorable Sayings and Doings (Factorum et dictorum memorabilium libri IX [31 c.e.]), one featuring the daughter Pero feeding her imprisoned father, Cimon, and the second about an anonymous mother and daughter, served as the basis of hundreds of images of children breastfeeding their parents. Often understood as Roman Charity, these images are read by Jutta Gisela Sperling in Roman Charity: Queer Lactations in Ear…
Menstruation and Procreation in Early Modern France, by Cathy McClive
Menstruation is ineluctably associated with the female body, and most accounts assume that an entirely negative view of menstruating women prevailed in the past. Cathy McClive persuasively challenges what she calls the ‘myth of menstrual misogyny’, demonstrating instead that medical, theological and legal understandings of menstruation were complex and ambivalent. McClive acknowledges the path-breaking analysis of Patricia Crawford, but challenge…
Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse
While there is a wide body of literature examining the behavioral, emotional, and social consequences associated with being sexually abused, comparatively few studies have focused on males. Sexual abuse victimization among males remains largely under-reported, under-treated, and under-recognized by researchers, practitioners, and the public. Researchers trying to clarify why sexual abuse in males has been overlooked point to prevailing cultural n…
Syphilis
For sixteenth-century Europeans, the New World and religious conflict were recurrent preoccupations—as was syphilis. Especially virulent in its early manifestations in Europe, syphilis seemed to come from the New World, where natives of Brazil experienced it as the ‘maladie de pians’. Blamed variously on lascivious women, on men having sex with lascivious women, or on cannibalism, syphilis, Deborah Losse argues, became a central metaphor for the …

Privilege, Possibility, and Perversion
Perilous Performances
In a book addressing those interested in the transformation of monarchy into the modern state and in intersections of gender and political power, Crawford examines the roles of female regents in early modern France.
Perilous Performances
Marsilio Ficino, Neoplatonism, and the Problem of Sex
Dans cet essai, nous examinons comment le désir, tel qu'il est présenté dans l’oeuvre de Marsile Ficin, pose des difficultés à ses contemporains surtout en ce qui concerne le désir et la beauté comme moyens d’atteindre le salut. Selon Ficin, le désir homoérotique est central à une compréhension profonde de la nature divine et de la transcendance spirituelle en générale. L'amant et le bien-aimé entrent dans un rapport réciproque (mais inégal) qui …

Catherine de Medicis and the Performance of Political Motherhood
Letter‐writing ability of fourth grade pupils
Since language ability is positively correlated with intelligence one might expect pupils of higher intelligence to demonstrate greater writing competence than pupils whose intelligence quotients fall along the lower ranges of the scale. One might also expect pupils in the upper range of intelligence to possess more interest in writing and consequently a greater desire to write letters than pupils of less intelligence. The question remains, of co…
