Review


"The book deals with some important aspects of sexuality and religion. Its scholarship is impeccable; Shaun Marmon has made an exhaustive study of Arabic sources, including many unpublished manuscripts and has used European sources in a wide variety of languages. She has interpreted these documents with the keenest historical imagination and reconstructed most vividly the events and institutions of that period. To my knowledge, this is the first and only systematic study on this particular subject"--Charles Issawi, Princeton University


"...An elegant and concise study... This is a book that students of Muslim institutions will find extremely valuable. For scholars of the more general topic of gender in history, it provides a beautifully documented case study..."--Journal of the History of Sexuality


"...the author is clearly exploring new grounds in Islamic studies...the author is to be commended for a thoroughly original and imaginative volume."--The Historian


"Rarely does a book combine elegance of style, depth of analysis, and an interesting topic as well as Marmon's study of eunuchs...will prove useful for graduate and advanced undergraduate students studying slavery, gender, medieval society, and Islamic family law."--Religious Studies Review


"...[a] fascinationg and path-breaking work."-- amluk Studies Review
