Description

Explore the complex social history of the English Renaissance with Beard Fetish in Early Modern England. Published by Routledge as part of the Women and Gender in the Early Modern World series, this scholarly work examines how facial hair served as a powerful symbol in early modern culture. Author Mark Albert Johnston analyzes how the beard functioned as a fetish object to validate ideological systems of power. By looking at how different groups were perceived, the book examines the materialization of value across various social registers. This study provides a deep look into the cultural meanings attached to physical appearance during this era. Instead of focusing only on men, the research includes discussions of beardless boys, bearded women, and half-bearded hermaphrodites. This wide-ranging approach helps reveal how categories such as sex, gender, age, race, and sexuality were constructed and understood in early modern English society. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in social and cultural history.
