Author’s Forum: Thinking Sex with the Early Moderns: Conversation with Valerie Traub and Helmut Puff

U-M English Professor Valerie Traub reads from her book “Thinking Sex with the Early Moderns,” followed by a discussion with U-M Professor Helmut Puff, Q & A, and book signing.

About the book: What do we know about early modern sex? And how do we know it? How, when, and why does sex become history? In Thinking Sex with the Early Moderns, Valerie Traub addresses these questions and, in doing so, reorients the ways in which historians and literary critics, feminists and queer theorists approach sexuality and its history. Her answers offer interdisciplinary strategies for confronting the difficulties of making sexual knowledge.
