Kurzfassung:
Key scholars in the field of lesbian and sexuality studies take part in an innovative conversation that offers a radical new methodology for writing lesbian history and geography, drawing new conclusions on the important and often overlooked work being done on female same-sex desire and identity in relation to premodern cultures.
Kurzfassung:

The Lesbian Premodern engages key scholars in lesbian studies and queer theory in an innovative conversation in print.
