Description - Lytton Strachey and the Search for Modern Sexual Identity by Julie Anne Taddeo

A perfect ancillary textbook for courses in history, literature and gender studies, this work contributes to the expanding field of queer studies from a historian's perspective. It looks at homosexuality through the eyes of Lytton Strachey as opposed to the too-often analysed Oscar Wilde and E.M Forster. Questioning the idea that homosexuality is a "transgressive rebellion," as Strachey and numerous Bloomsbury scholars have insisted, this volume focuses on the ongoing conflict between Strachey's Victorian notions of class, gender and race, and his desire to be modern.
