Employing primary sources such as miscellanies, poetry, fiction and 'flower guides', Wu Cuncun argues that male homoeroticism played a central role in the cultural life of late imperial Chinese literati elites. Countering recent arguments that homosexuality was marginal and disparaged during this period, the book also seeks to trace the relationship of homoeroticism to status and power.In addition to historical portraits and analysis, the bookRoutledgeCurzon/Asian Studies Association of Australia East Asia series ;7.Male homosexualityChinaHistorySex customsChinaHistoryIntellectualsSexual behaviorChinaHistoryChinaSocial life and customs1644-1912Male homosexualityHistory.Sex customsHistory.IntellectualsSexual behaviorHistory.306.76/62/0951090315.75bclWu Cuncun712819MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822865403321Homoerotic sensibilities in late imperial China4069411UNINA
