The Opposite of Desire

Sex and Pleasure in the Modernist Novel

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Opposite of Desire examines explicit representations of sex and sexuality in modernist novels, and it asserts that those scenes provide a lens through which one can explore modernist aesthetic interests, as well as the centrality of issues surrounding sex, sexuality, and gender in the modernist period. With the aid of Michel Foucault's theories about sexual discourses, Tonya Krouse shows how the modernists represent the idea of pleasure in their novels.
