Synopsis
This is an extensive analysis of the relation of erotic philosophy to homosexuality in the modern period. The book focuses on homoerotic (mis)approriations and subversions of homoerotic conceptions of romantic love in texts by eight authors: Oscar Wilde, Andre Gide, Ronald Firbank, Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, Marguerite Yourcenar, Mary Renault and Roland Barthes. In doing so, the author both positions these authors as experimental and influential erotic theorists and protests against the critical undervaluation of love (as opposed to desire) in the construction of sexuality as we know it.

From the Back Cover
“At once invitingly stylish and excitingly lucid, Love’s Litany disentangles a rich, distinct tradition of philosophizing homoerotic love that looks back to Romanticism and urges forward toward modernism—toward the passionate merging, crystallization, camaraderie, experimentation, and mortal loss that mark our own fin de siècle.”—Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Duke University
“Everywhere tenderly epigrammatic, Kevin Kopelson’s voice—moving with a litigator’s clean, panoptic brio—demonstrates that critique can be a form of courtship, even a form of love.”—Wayne Koestenbaum, Yale University
