Böcker av Daniel Juan Gil

This book argues that in the seventeenth century the ancient hope for the physical resurrection of the body and its flesh began an unexpected second life as critical theory, challenging the notion of an autonomous self and driving early modern avant-garde poetry.

Provides a reexamination of early modern sexuality. The author examines sixteenth-century English literary concepts of sexuality, and shows how these works of early modern literature provide a discourse of sexuality that strives to understand status differences in erotic contexts, and thereby question key assumptions of modernity.
