"Ovid and Masculinity in English Renaissance Literatureuncovers a surprising nuance in the Renaissance construction of masculinity -- namely, that it is precisely the destabilization of manhood in Ovid that Renaissance writers use to mitigate their own anxieties about gender categories. This impressive collection of engaging essays by leading scholars sheds light on under-appreciated aspects of the Metamorphoses and on English Renaissance constructions of gender."
