Book Review

Sex and the Eighteenth-Century Man: Massachusetts and the History of Sexuality in America. By Thomas A. Foster. (Boston: Beacon, 2006. xx, 223 pp. $28.95, ISBN 0-8070-5038-5.)

Thomas A. Foster argues that sexuality and manhood were inextricably linked in eighteenth-century Massachusetts. Diaries and family letters rarely elucidate that aspect of men's lives, but court records and newspapers offer some stories that are fascinating, if hard to interpret. Foster uses those sources to explore what men thought about their own sexuality as well as about the sexual lives of other men.
