Dear Editor,

Ashgate has just published a book which may be of interest to the readers of your journal:

The One-Sex Body on Trial: The Classical and Early Modern Evidence, by Helen King

By far the most influential work on the history of the body, across a wide range of academic disciplines, remains that of Thomas Laqueur. This book puts on trial the one-sex/two-sex model of Laqueur's Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud through a detailed exploration of the ways in which two classical stories of sexual difference were told, retold and remade from the mid-sixteenth to the nineteenth century.
