Craft investigates questions fundamental to any history of present sexualities: How does the modern binary homosexual/heterosexual relate to antecedent formulations such as "sexual inversion" and "sodomy"? What part do literary texts play in the historical constitution of such categorizations of desire, or in a culture's resistance to them? And more urgently for the author: Given that homosexuality has been viewed as the paradigmatic modern "perversion," what are the implications for the creation and maintenance of the putatively "natural" male heterosexual subject? In what ways has male heterosexual subjectivity been established as a precarious bulwark against the formidable attractions of a homosexual desire that is repeatedly incited by the very culture that continues to condemn it?" "Interdisciplinary in approach, sophisticated and often witty in style, Craft's work pursues these questions along both literary and nonliterary lines. He examines the discourses of nineteenth-century psychiatry and sexology; some of Freud's central writings; and such pivotal literary texts as Tennyson's In Memoriam, Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Lawrence's Women in Love. The resulting study, with its focus on "the inescapable obstacles of our passion," will interest all those concerned with the politics of gender, the history of sexuality, and the erotics of reading."--Jacket.New historicism ;30.Another kind of loveEnglish literature19th centuryHistory and criticismHomosexuality and literatureGreat BritainHistoryGay men in literatureDesire in literatureLove in literatureEnglish literatureHistory and criticism19th centuryGreat BritainHomosexuality and literatureHistoryGay men in literatureDesire in literatureLove in literatureEnglishHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCEnglish LiteratureHILCCCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastHistory.fastEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Homosexuality and literatureHistory.Gay men in literature.Desire in literature.Love in literature.English literatureHistory and criticismHomosexuality and literatureHistory.Gay men in literature.Desire in literature.Love in literature.EnglishLanguages & LiteraturesEnglish Literature820.9/353Craft Christopher1952-1234646DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910495967903321Another kind of love2867985UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
