Sharon Block. Rape and Sexual Power in Early America. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, Va. 2006. Pp. ix, 276. Cloth $45.00, paper $19.95.

Sharon Block's long-anticipated volume is a meticulously researched work that explores and analyzes the interrelationship of sexual power and sexual coercion. Using a variety of sources, including court records and papers, newspaper accounts, almanacs, diaries, letters, and fictional treatments of rape and seduction, Block has created an impressive work of legal/social/cultural history that builds upon and enhances the recent scholarship on sexuality and rape.
