<p>I have already published two books in the field of sexual regulation – Church Courts, Sex and Marriage in England, 1570–1640 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1987) and Carnal Knowledge: Regulating Sex in England, 1470–1600 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2017). Why embark on a third? Basically this is because I persist in thinking that sexual regulation through courts of law as practised in late medieval and early modern England – and, more broadly, in many parts of continental Europe – is a major historical theme whose importance demands re-emphasis. Within this pattern, the role of London in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries is of manifest importance. Yet despite excellent work by Ian Archer, Paul Griffiths and others, a surprising amount of research remains to be done. The fact is that London’s exceptionally complex system of sexual regulation, undergoing changes and transformations as the capital expanded rapidly, is particularly challenging to unravel – not least because of the patchiness of record survival. As against this, the metropolitan location offers the historian unique opportunities to explore the synergies between the practice of sexual regulation and the imaginative literature (especially the drama) of the period. In this tutorial, some elements of this ongoing project will be highlighted with reference to a particular cluster of incidents around 1600.</p><p></p>
