Between Men: English Literature and Male Homosocial Desire by Eve Kosofsky Sedgw

Description: Between Men: English Literature and Male Homosocial Desire by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick Hailed by the "New York Times" as "one of the most influential texts in gender studies, men's studies and gay studies," this book uncovers the homosocial desire between men, from Restoration comedies to Tennyson's "Princess." FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This text examines mens relationships with one another in English literature and the ways those relationships affect women. Central to this study is Sedgwicks conception of "male homosocial desire": this continuum includes the elements of both homosexuality and homophobia in male-male relationships and extends desire far beyond the simply sexual. She argues that the increasing secular, psychological and descriptive power of male homophobia not only affected a male homosexual minority but also radically shaped the erotic, class and national ideologies of English men and women as a whole. Notes "One of the most influential texts in gender studies, mens studies and gay studies." -- Catharine R. Stimpson, New York Times Book Review Author Biography Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick is the author of Tendencies, The Coherence of Gothic Conventions, and Epistemology of the Closet.
