Description

This scholarly work by Routledge explores same-sex desire in English literature spanning 1500 to 1760, examining how homosexual themes appear throughout Renaissance and Enlightenment texts. The essays undertake a vital re-historicizing and re-contextualising of literature, employing varied critical methods and theoretical frameworks to illuminate the gay and lesbian experience during this pivotal period. By analysing important literary works often containing indirect or ambiguous representations of same-sex relationships, the book clarifies the actual status of homosexuality in English literature and provides essential context for understanding these historical representations. Readers will gain deeper insight into how writers addressed taboo subjects within the constraints of their era, and how modern critical approaches can reveal meanings obscured by historical distance and social convention.

Key Features

Covers English literature from 1500 to 1760, tracing representations of same-sex desire across the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods.

Uses multiple critical methods and theoretical frameworks to re-contextualise homosexual themes in canonical and lesser-known literary works.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in literary criticism and cultural studies.

Provides historical context for understanding how authors represented gay and lesbian experiences within the constraints of their times.

Examines both direct and indirect literary representations of same-sex desire to clarify the actual status of homosexuality in English literature.
