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. 410 0$aNew historicism ;$v30. 517 $aAnother kind of love 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHomosexuality and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aGay men in literature 606 $aDesire in literature 606 $aLove in literature 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism$y19th century$zGreat Britain 606 $aHomosexuality and literature$xHistory 606 $aGay men in literature 606 $aDesire in literature 606 $aLove in literature 606 $aEnglish$2HILCC 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aEnglish Literature$2HILCC 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHomosexuality and literature$xHistory. 615 0$aGay men in literature. 615 0$aDesire in literature. 615 0$aLove in literature. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aHomosexuality and literature$xHistory. 615 0$aGay men in literature. 615 0$aDesire in literature. 615 0$aLove in literature. 615 7$aEnglish 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aEnglish Literature 676 $a820.9/353 700 $aCraft$b Christopher$f1952-$01234646 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495967903321 996 $aAnother kind of love$92867985 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis 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
