Sexual dissidence : Augustine to Wilde, Freud to Foucault

Jonathan Dollimore (Author)
Returning to the early modern period, this study questions and develops issues of post-modernity. It shows how literature histories and sub-cultures of sexual and gender dissidence may be relevant to current debates and discusses topics ranging from homophobia to transgression and its containment
