Sexual Dissidence: Augustine to Wilde, Freud to Foucault

Rating:
Summary: Sexuality uncovered
Review: With this book Dollimore analyzes sexuality in terms of the differing conceptions of Andre Gide and Oscar Wilde. Where Wilde saw surface and performance, Gide saw a representation of essential self. Taking Wilde's side in the argument, Dollimore uses this analysis to deconstruct sexuality as it appears in early texts.
