Description

Jonathan Dollimore's study of sexual dissidence explores the complex relationship between homosexuality and society, tracing its evolution from early modern to postmodern periods. By examining the work of diverse writers and cultural critics, including Shakespeare, Gide, Wilde, Genet, St. Augustine, Freud, Fanon, Foucault, and Monique Wittig, Dollimore sheds new light on the nature of sexual difference and its representation in literature and culture.

The book delves into topics such as transgression, contemporary theories of sexual difference, homophobia, the gay sensibility, and transvestite literature, offering a nuanced understanding of how these issues intersect with debates in literary theory, psychoanalysis, and cultural materialism. Through its wide-ranging analysis, Sexual Dissidence provides valuable insights for anyone interested in the complex history and ongoing relevance of LGBTQ+ studies.
