Carla Frecceros beautifully written book offers a strong persuasive and newway of reading queer early modern texts. Refusing the historicist view thatwould draw fierce lines between premodern and modern Freccero asks her readerto consider premodern texts as intervening in the logic of their times andpersisting within modernity in spectral form. Her intense engagement with queerearly modern scholarship is enriched and disoriented by her insistence thatcontemporary practices of queering are haunted by their unfinished andunfinishable past. Her singular and deft way of moving between contemporaryculture and politics and the animated remnants of premodern texts offers abrilliant model for contemporary scholarship and a truly innovative turn inqueer studies.Judith Butler Maxine Elliot Professor at the University ofCalifornia Berkeley «
