Reviews
Carolyn A. Nadeau, Byron S. Tucci Professor of Spanish, Illinois Wesleyan University:
“This timely volume of collected essays provides a fresh examination of queer identities in early modern Spain. Whether exploring the home or the stage, the court or the convent, visual or literary sources, each author brings to light embodied expressions of joy that challenge social norms. Bodies beyond Labels provides scholars today with a new understanding of the organic nature of queerness as it plays out both in works of fiction and in historic and legal documents. Enjoy!”

Christopher B. Weimer, Professor of Spanish, Oklahoma State University :
“With Bodies beyond Labels, Daniel Holcombe and Frederick A. de Armas add a wide-ranging, provocative volume to the corpus of scholarly work examining queer subjectivities, identities, and desires in Inquisition-era imperial Spain. Not only do the essays shed fresh light on queer discourses in both expected and unexpected texts, but they also offer critical approaches that will surely prove valuable to future investigators.”
