From the tenor of contemporary discussions, it would be easy to
conclude that the idea of marriage between two people of the same
sex is a uniquely contemporary phenomenon. Not so, argues Gary
Ferguson in Same-Sex Marriage in Renaissance Rome. Making use of
substantial fragments of trial transcripts Gary Ferguson brings the
story of a same-sex marriage to life in striking detail. He
unearths an incredible amount of detail about the men, their sex
lives, and how others responded to this information, which allows
him to explore attitudes toward marriage, sex, and gender at the
time. Emphasizing the instability of marriage in premodern Europe,
Ferguson argues that same-sex unions should be considered part of
the institution's complex and contested history.
