Another Kind of Love: Male Homosexual Desire in English Discourse, 1850-1920, Vol. 30

"Craft is both ingenious and serious, writing strongly from a familiarity with several appropriate and well-assimilated theoretical traditions. We have already learned a lot from his work, and this vitally written book will be an original and influential contribution."--Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, author ofEpistemology of the Closet "Craft proves himself a formidable practitioner of the high Jamesian, Wildean, and Proustian style that continues, via Barthes and Derrida, to energize contemporary academic criticism at its most audacious and inventive. . . . A powerful argument not only about the dubious career of the inversion paradigm in Western constructions of same-sex desire but also about our culture's 'chilling cathexis between homosexual desire and death.' This book makes a distinguished and important contribution to gay studies."--Joseph Litvak, author ofCaught in the Act: Theatricality in the Nineteenth-Century NovelCraft, Christopher is the author of 'Another Kind of Love: Male Homosexual Desire in English Discourse, 1850-1920, Vol. 30' with ISBN 9780520084926 and ISBN 0520084926.
