Through this examination of illicit sexuality, Ruggiero sheds light on the institutions, languages, social life, and values not only of this shadow-culture, but also of Venetian society and, ultimately, the Renaissance itself.  Reviews "Extremely welcome for its systematic attempt to squeeze information about changing attitudes to sexuality from the judicial records."--The London Review of Books "As full a picture as can be constructed from the scraps of legal and other documents which reveal the Venetian attitudes towards women and sexuality, sex crime and sexual deviance in the Renaissance."--Chronique "[An] excellent case history."--Sex Roles About the Author Guido Ruggiero is at University of Connecticut.
