Rezensionen

"Italian Sexualities Uncovered presents a series of innovative essays on both hetero- and homosexuality among women and men during the long nineteenth century. ... Babini, Beccalossi, and Riall are to be commended for putting together such a rich and varied collection of essays. ... As a pioneering model for subsequent research, Italian Sexualities Uncovered constitutes an essential step toward the incorporation of sexuality into the larger narrative of modern Italian history."
