Body guards : the cultural politics of gender ambiguity / edited by Julia Epstein and Kristina Straub. [0415903882 ] New York : Routledge, 1991.
Call#: HQ71 .B57 1991

Rachel Lewis, "Love and Persuassion in Monteverdi's L'Incoronazione Di Poppea," Music and Letters 86.1 2005
According to the Galenic tradition with which Monteverdi would have been familiar, there was no stable biological divide between male and female; the Renaissance lackeda scientific discourse that could even claim to establish a definitive method by which one distinguished male from female.14 Sexual identity was relational, not a fixed bodily condition, but a response to contexts that were always changing.15

By "refreshingly controversial in its interpretation of this grand classic" they mean Peter Konwitschny's Tristan und Isolde is nonsensically staged. The singers' voices are amazing.
