Not so, argues Gary Ferguson in \u003ci\u003eSame-Sex Marriage in Renaissance Rom\u003c\/i\u003ee. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking use of substantial fragments of trial transcripts Gary Ferguson brings the story of a same-sex marriage to life in striking detail. He unearths an incredible amount of detail about the men, their sex lives, and how others responded to this information, which allows him to explore attitudes toward marriage, sex, and gender at the time. Emphasizing the instability of marriage in premodern Europe, Ferguson argues that same-sex unions should be considered part of the institution's complex and contested history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGary Ferguson is the Douglas Huntly Gordon Distinguished Professor of French at the University of Virginia.
