Research

Gowing's research relates to early modern England, women, gender, the body, sexuality, crime, disorder, and London. In Common Bodies (2003), Gowing combined the approaches of Thomas W. Laqueur and Michel Foucault to the history of the body in the early modern period in a book that was positively reviewed in The Guardian.
