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. Based on
the premise that producing sexual knowledge is difficult because
sex itself is often inscrutable, Thinking Sex with the Early
Moderns leverages the notions of opacity and impasse to explore
barriers to knowledge about sex in the past. Traub argues that the
obstacles in making sexual history can illuminate the difficulty of
knowing sexuality. She also argues that these impediments
themselves can be adopted as a guiding principle of historiography:
sex may be good to think with, not because it permits us access but
because it doesn't.
