Annotation:
	Draws on Queen Margaret and Joan (in 1, 2, and 3 Henry VI and Richard III) whose masculine qualities encourage "sustained homoerotic fantasies about them" to offer a "new account of early modern sexuality [that] changes how we see the development of the relationship between sexual tendencies and other aspects of identity, and in particular challenges previous analyses of same-sex female sexuality in the Renaissance."
