Description

This study of the influences and roles of homosexual writers and themes in modern French literature examines how views of homosexuality are polarized between negative self-hatred (Proust) and positive idealization (Gide and the Blarney Group). Because the nature of identity is a key theme in 20th-century French literature, the quest for understanding sexual identities and self-image is an integral focus for the contemporary writers cited here.
