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 book 410 0$aRoutledgeCurzon/Asian Studies Association of Australia East Asia series ;$v7. 606 $aMale homosexuality$zChina$xHistory 606 $aSex customs$zChina$xHistory 606 $aIntellectuals$xSexual behavior$zChina$xHistory 607 $aChina$xSocial life and customs$y1644-1912 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMale homosexuality$xHistory. 615 0$aSex customs$xHistory. 615 0$aIntellectuals$xSexual behavior$xHistory. 676 $a306.76/62/09510903 686 $a15.75$2bcl 700 $aWu$b Cuncun.$0712819 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451057903321 996 $aHomoerotic sensibilities in late imperial China$92023502 997 $aUNINA
