Whore

Bradford K Mudge's The Whore's Story is an important contribution to this project…a welcome addition to the literature on gender and sexuality in the period…with its thorough discussion of both familiar and obscure primary texts and its engaging readable style… The Whore's Story thus offers a new answer to the question of how writing that today is called the novel, and it sexuality as active agents-they became its subject….In spite of the large amount of literature already existing on the subject, Mudge finds new and striking examples…
