Lytton Strachey and the Search for Modern Sexual Identity

A fascinating read for Bloomsbury aficionados and an ideal ancillary textbook for courses in history, literature, and women's studies, this unique volume contributes to the expanding field of queer studies from an historian's perspective. It explores the relationship between British modernism and sexuality using Lytton Strachey—one of the neglected voices of early twentieth-century England as opposed to the too-often analyzed Oscar Wilde and E.M. Forster—as a case study.
