Back Jacket

This excellent study of Fielding's works takes as its central metaphor the masque (or mask) used throughout his career to explore the often complicated relationships among biological sex, gender, sexuality, and identity. The author is impressive both in her scope . . . and in her incisiveness. . . . This is a major work.--Choice
