Table of ContentsIntroduction: Theorizing Queer Style in Early Modern English Drama 1: One: Ben Jonson's Imitation Games: Masculinity and Queer Inauthenticity in Every Man in His Humour 2: City Powd'ring: Materiality, Pedagogy, and Sexuality in Michaelmas Term 3: Quilted with Mighty Words to Lean Purpose : Clothing and Queer Style in The Roaring Girl 4: Cruisy Historicism: Sartorial Extravagance and Public Sexual Culture in Ben Jonson's Every Man Out of His Humour EpilogueReviewsThe book's playfulness makes it an often enjoyable read. Without wishing to spoil the opening of chapter 4 for future readers, I will say that in a field somewhat saturated with reappropriations of Greenblatt's desire to speak with the dead, this particular chapter opening is by far the one that has made me laugh the most. * Kit Heyam, Queen Mary, University of London, Early Theatre * It is exemplary in bringing together scholarship from many different disciplines, and using it to push the boundaries of what we think of as dress history. His challenge of queerphobic and sex-negative history-making brings a powerful message to re-examine our personal biases and imagine a better and more diverse past, and then bring that thinking to the present and future. * Luise Kocaurek, Journal of Dress History * For those teaching or researching themes of construction of the self, embodiment, gender identity, and theatricality, there will be much to ponder after reading this thoughtful and surprising study. * John S.
