Homoerotic Sensibilities in Late Imperial China is the richest
exploration to date of late imperial Chinese literati interest in
male love. 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 also advances the concept of 'sensibilities' as a method
for interpreting the complex range of homoerotic texts produced in
late imperial China.
