- This 187 page monograph surveys key examples from the history of western literature in order to address a difficult subject: human sexual promiscuity. It develops complex methodologies drawn from queer, feminist, and gender studies in order to provide debate that ranges from Ancient Greece and Rome to contemporary fiction and poetry. The book works between and across languages and traditions. The research deploys theoretical, philosophical, medical, sociological and literary-historical means; it also provides readings from nineteenth- and twentieth-century sexology to develop a history of ideas through which to discuss its transhistorical and inter-cultural subject.
