Due to the constraints of the time, Viaud had to develop various strategies for discussing his subject covertly; his success in doing so is demonstrated by the great critical and commercial success he enjoyed during his lifetime, which included his election to the French Academy at age forty-one. Richard Berrong presents a gay reading of the novels and novellas of Julien Viaud, chronologically tracing his development of a distinct homosexual identity and the strategies that he employed to discuss it in a way that would not be obvious to the general public. In so doing, Berrong asserts that Viaud's development of a homosexual identity undermined and realigned dominant constructions of masculinity, presented the need for gay community, and elaborated the role of literature for gay men. The first book-length gay reading of Viaud's corpus, this work will make an important contribution not only to the study of Viaud, but also to the study of gay and lesbian history, culture, and literature. 606 $aMale homosexuality in literature 606 $aGay men in literature 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMale homosexuality in literature. 615 0$aGay men in literature. 676 $a843/.8 700 $aBerrong$b Richard M.$f1951-$01622714 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819237403321 996 $aIn love with a handsome sailor$93956732 997 $aUNINA
