SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Warm Brothers analyzes classical German writers through the lens of queer theory. Beginning with sodomitical subcultures in eighteenth-century Germany, it examines the traces of an emergent homosexuality and shows the importance of the eighteenth century for the nineteenth-century sexologists who were to provide the framework for modern conceptualizations of sexuality. One of the first books to document male-male desire in eighteenth-century German literature and culture. Warm Brothers offers a much-needed reappraisal of the classical canon and the history of sexuality."--Jacket.
