The book provides an historical overview of same-sex (especially male-male) sexual behavior in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It pays special attention to the connections between depictions of same-sex desire and orientalism. At times, it moves into a deconstructive mode. Authors central to the project include Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, Karl Philipp Moritz, Christoph Martin Wieland, Jean Paul, and Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. In addition to providing close readings of these important authors, this book hopes to provide a model for all those who seek to study sexuality in literatures written prior to modern discourses of sexuality.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Warm Brothers: Queer Theory and the Age of Goethe<\/span>.\u00a0 Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2000.
