Male Delivery: Reproduction, Effeminacy, and Pregnant Men in Early Modern Spain
Male Delivery Reproduction Effeminacy and Pregnant Men in Early Modern Spain
Author: Sherry Velasco
Using the one-act comedy El parto de Juan Rana (John Frog Gives Birth) as a point of departure, Velasco argues that the figure of the pregnant man in early modern Spanish culture was not merely comic entertainment, but also served an important role as a physical representation of the anxieties about the changing roles of men and women at the time.
