Passions of the Cut Sleeve, The Male Homosexual Tradition in China

Passions of the Cut Sleeve, The Male Homosexual Tradition in China

by Bret Hinsch

  • LITERATURE
  • 1992
  • PAPER
  • 256 PAGES

A well written, scholarly survey of the traditions of same-sex male love across 3,000 years of Chinese literature -- much livlier than the title would indicate. Hinsch draws from dynastic histories, erotic novels, popular Buddhist tracts, love poetry, legal cases, and joke books in this fascinating overview.  (CHN167, $26.95)
