Dear John,
Apart from the reference to the Dinshaw piece that someone else sent in, you
might be interested in the following if you don't know about them already
(also about John/Eleanor Rykener):
David Lorenzo Boyd and Ruth Mazo Karras, "The Interrogation of a Male
Transvestite Prostitute in Fourteenth-Century London," [gives a
transcription and translation of the documents, if I remember correctly],
GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies 1 (1994): 459-65.
David Lorenzo Boyd and Ruth Mazo Karras, " 'Ut cum muliere': A Male
Transvestite Prostitute in Fourteenth-Century London," in The Pleasures of
History: Reading Sexualities in Premodern Europe, ed. Louise Fradenburg and
Carla Freccero (London: Routledge, 1995?).

Dear All
I'm aware that Carolyn Dinshaw has written about the cross-dressed C15
prostitute John/Eleanor Rykener, in her book _Getting Medieval_.
Unfortunately, our university library does not have a copy of this, and it
will take me a while to get hold of it; i was wondering, therefore, if
anyone knows whether Dinshaw had previously published her analysis anywhere
else? IE did it first appear as a journal article, and if so, where?
Thanks in advance for any help
cheers
john
