What is sex exactly? Does everyone agree on a definition? And does that definition hold when considering literary production in other times and places? This book makes clear that we cannot simply transfer our contemporary notions of what constitutes a sex act into the past and expect them to be true for the people who were then reading literature and watching plays. The chapters confront how our current critical assumptions about definitions of sex restrict our understanding of representations of sexuality in early modern England.
