"The medieval period has also been more ignored than the modern one...Although some medieval writes such as Chaucer or Boccacio are part of the general liberal education of most of us....regarded as exceptions, a throwback to classical times. Except for these brief nods to Chaucer and Boccacio, it is not until Shakespeare's time that the interested reader who can only read English can follow the story of sex. Since this is the case, it becomes not only important for scholars to give accurate information about sex practices of the past, but also to pay particular attention to periods such as the Middle Ages so long ignored. That is the purpose of this book". ; 9 X 5.98 X 0.96 inches; xii, 289 pages; SIGNED BY AUTHOR. Light bumping and shelf wear; few light, tan spots on edges of text block. ; Signed by Author.
