This text discusses the role of homosexuality in works such as 'Lolita', 'Madame Bovary', and 'A Streetcar Named Desire' in 20 original essays and critical analyses.
Gender and love are hardly confined to literary themes, yet their permanent expression necessarily depends upon answerable style. This volume considers such major authors as Ibsen, Byron, Aristophanes, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Sophocles, Joyce, Pope, Walt Whitman, D. H. Lawrence, and Thomas Hardy—among others—and rightly invokes also Plato and Freud, the leading Western authorities upon eros.
