The first extensive analysis of the relation of erotic philosophy
to homosexuality in the modern period, this book focuses on
homoerotic (mis)appropriations and subversions of homoerotic
conceptions of romantic love in texts by eight authors: Oscar
Wilde, Andre Gide, Ronald Firbank, Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein,
Marguerite Yourcenar, Mary Renault, and Roland Barthes. In doing
so, the author both positions these authors as experimental and
influential erotic theorists and protests the critical
undervaluation of love (as opposed to desire) in the construction
of sexuality as we know it.
