Among the topics considered are the visibility of sexual offenses and the construction of passions; the geographical range extends to Great Britain, with a focus also on France and Germany. The result is a groundbreaking volume that adds significantly to our understanding of premodern European history, history of sexualities, gender studies, religious history, and many other fields.
