The volume explores the popularity of a topic that appealed to early modern observers for its eroticizing shock value, its ironic take on the concept of Catholic »charity«, and its implied critique of patriarchal power structures. It analyses why early modern viewers found an incestuous, adult breastfeeding scene »good to think with« and aims at expanding and queering our notions of early modern sexuality. Jutta Gisela Sperling discusses the different visual contexts in which »Roman Charity« flourished and reconstructs contemporary horizons of expectation by reference to literary sources, medical practice, and legal culture. 330 1 $a»Sperling's book is a useful addition to scholarly conversations in several fields and disciplines - art history and early modern gender studies in particular. Though not a text for an introductory course, it provides more advanced students and researchers with thoughtful and creative tools for analyzing the transmission of images through time as well as about the ways in which we engage the meaning and reception of those images.« Peter Carlson, Comitatus, 48 (2017) 410 0$aImage (Transcript (Firm)) ;$v87. 606 $aSex$xSocial aspects 606 $aSex (Psychology) 615 0$aSex$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSex (Psychology) 676 $a700 700 $aSperling$b Jutta Gisela$0855899 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996308752503316 996 $aRoman charity$91910965 997 $aUNISA
