Recensioner i media

"In this volume, Marian Rothstein builds on her earlier article-length investigations of the androgyne myth's use in literary and political environments in early modern France. ... Well written and documented, this work will become a standard for anyone interested in questions of gender in early modern France." (Jeff Kendrick, French Studies, Vol. 70 (4), October, 2016)
