From Proust to AIDS novelists, from Gide to lesbian and gay liberation polemicists, Robinson (modern languages, Christ Church, Oxford) discusses male and female homosexuality in French literature as a theme which has influenced debates and developments in modern literature as a whole. Looking at issues such as self-image, sexuality and religious belief, the impact of AIDS, pederasty, the idea of a sexual continuum, and the ways in the body and desire are presented, he gives a sense of the social and intellectual context in which French writers have faced up to their homosexuality.
