The originality of Alain Saint-Saëns's anthology lies in its willingness to challenge traditional approaches to studying the past.
''Crossing customary boundaries between the academic disciplines of history and literature, essays borrow methodologies from each. Sex and Love in Golden Age Spain breaks stereotypes of pleasure and violence, sex and love, and its presents paradoxes that stimulate rethinking. In many years of research, publishing, and teaching, I have rarely seen an anthology with so many exciting essays unified by such an original focus." Mary-Elizabeth Perry "There is nothing in English that combines literary analysis with historical research on this topic. I believe that Sex and Love in Golden Age Spain will add considerably to our knowledge of sexual practices in the early modern period." Anne J. Cruz
