Order this book. Superb ,
#gender, #linguistics, #shskespeare, and #earlymodern research and argument. Teaching in my “critical approaches” grad seminar this quarter.
Congratulations to Stephen Spiess on the publication of _Shakespeare and the Making of English Whoredom_, a richly focused study of the figure of the whore in early modern English culture. It is also so much more: an inquiry into the way gender, sexuality, and status are 1/

And it's available in softcover for a reasonable price, especially when you use the code AUFLY30 at checkout for 30% off. /end global.oup.com/academic/prod…
