Have finished Duffy. Hurrah!

Next up will be David Cressy, Birth, Marriage, and Death, although probably only the Death part. February is sliding past.

But in the meantime, my Books to Look For from Duffy's bibliography.


First off, I do heartily recommend the one book in Duffy's bibliog. that I have read: Peter Brown, The Body and Society: Men, Women, and Sexual Renunciation in Early Christianity, London, 1989. I read it for a History of the Body class as an undergraduate senior, and I still remember it as a really fantastic book. If, of course, you're interested in that sort of thing.

Then, my list of books I'll be hunting for. (Duffy uses some weird citation system that doesn't take the publisher's name in the entry. I think this is completely fucked up. I'm just sayin'.)

Aries, P. The Hour of Our Death, London 1981.
