Editor’s Note

With this, the final issue of volume 17, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of the scholars worldwide who have acted as reviewers of books and essays over the past year. I depend so much on the generosity of others who must take time from busy professional and personal lives for these reviews. I wish I could name all of you here, but I must respect the anonymity of reviewers. Know, however, that your efforts are greatly appreciated. If you would like to become a reviewer for the Journal of the History of Sexuality, please send me an email (to jhistsex@mail.sdsu.edu) indicating in brief your credentials and the period, geographical region, and topics of your interest and expertise.

My thanks to Mr. Paul Feldman of Houston, Texas, Prof. Raymond Starr of San Diego State University (emeritus), and Prof. Randolph Trumbach of Baruch College, City University of New York, for their donations in support of the ongoing expenses of the Editorial Office. If you would like to make a similar tax-deductible donation, please send me an email (to jhistsex@mail.sdsu.edu) or write to
