The Sexual Culture of the French Renaissance - Cambridge Social and Cultural Histories
Crawford, Katherine (Vanderbilt University, Tennessee)
This book examines how, as Renaissance textual practices and new forms of knowledge rippled outward from Italy, French notions of masculinity, sexual agency, and procreation were fundamentally changed. Katherine Crawford reveals that humanists, poets, and political figures contributed to the rapid alteration of sexual ideas to suit French cultural needs.
