Book excerpt: In Renaissance and early modern Europe, various constellations of phenomena - ranging from sex scandals to legal debates to flurries of satirical prints - collectively demonstrate an increased concern with cuckoldry, impotence and adultery. Deploying analytical tools from a range of disciplines, these essays interrogate and explore those phenomena to reveal the central importance of sexuality and sexual metaphor for our understanding of European history, politics and culture.
