Nonetheless, eroticism is a lightning rod for defining mentalities and social, intellectual, and literary history within the nascent field that the author calls erotic philology. \u003ci\u003eAn Erotic Philology of Golden Age Spain\u003c\/i\u003e takes sexuality and eroticism out of the historical closet, placing them at the forefront of early modern humanistic studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy utilizing theories of deviance, sexuality, and gender; the rhetoric of eroticism; and textual criticism, \u003ci\u003eAn Erotic Philology of Golden Age Spain\u003c\/i\u003e historicizes and analyzes the particular ways in which classical Spanish writers assign symbolic meaning to non-normative sexual practices and their practitioners. It shows how prostitutes, homosexuals, transvestites, women warriors, and female tricksters were stigmatized and marginalized as part of an ordering principle in the law, society, and in literature. It is against these sexual outlaws that early modern orthodoxy establishes and identifies itself during the Golden Age of Spanish letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese eroticized figures are recurring objects of contemplation and fascination for Spain's most canonical as well as lesser known writers of the period, in a variety of poetic, prose and dramatic genres. They ultimately reveal attitudes towards sexual behavior that are far more complex than was previously thought. \u003ci\u003eAn Erotic Philology of Golden Age Spain\u003c\/i\u003e thoughtfully anatomizes the interdisciplinary systems at the heart of the varied sexual behaviors depicted in early modern Spanish literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdrienne Laskier Mart?n\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of Spanish literature at the University of California, Davis where she teaches Golden Age poetry, prose, theater and performance.
