Seduction of the Mediterranean Writing, Art and Homosexual Fantasy

Through an explanation of forty figures in European culture, Te Seduction of the Mediterranean argues that the Mediterranean, classical and contemporary, was the central theme in homoerotic writing and art from the 1750s to the 1950s. Episodes of exile, murder, drug-taking, wild homosexual orgies and court cases are woven into an original study of a significant theme in European culture. The myth of a homoerotic Mediterranean made a major contribution to general attitudes towards Antiquity, the Renaissance and modern Italy and Greece.Aldrich, Robert is the author of 'Seduction of the Mediterranean Writing, Art and Homosexual Fantasy' with ISBN 9780415093125 and ISBN 0415093120.
