Description

Explore how beards functioned as powerful fetish objects in Renaissance England through this groundbreaking cultural history. Mark Albert Johnston's study examines representations of bearded men, beardless boys, bearded women, and half-bearded hermaphrodites to reveal how material objects validated ideological systems of power across multiple registers of value. By treating the beard as a focal point, Johnston demonstrates the contingency of seemingly fixed categories including sex, gender, age, race, and sexuality in early modern English culture. This academic work draws from diverse primary sources to show how close attention to cultural artefacts exposes the constructed nature of identity categories. Essential reading for scholars of Renaissance history, gender studies, and the social history of the body.
