Reviews

"A tour de force of erudition, critical insight, and balanced judgment. Not since John Boswell's Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality has a single scholar working in gender and sexuality studies taken on such a vast array of data, genres, and languages and treated it with such wisdom and care. Mills is uniquely suited to the task: an art historian, a literary scholar, and a theoretical wizard, he combines like no one else in these three fields of expertise materials that he sees as complementary and essential to one another." (William Burgwinkle, University of Cambridge)"
