Charting the construction of sexual perversions in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century medical, psychiatric and psychological discourse, Schaffner argues that sexologists' preoccupation with these perversions was a response to specifically modern concerns, and illuminates the role of literary texts in the formation of sexological knowledge.

This original study re-evaluates central texts of the modernist canon - Eliot's early poetry including The Waste Land, Joyce's Ulysses and Proust's Remembrance of Things Past - by examining sexual energies and identifications in them that are typically regarded as perverse. According to modern cultural discourses and psychosexual categorizations, these deviant desires and identifications feminize men, or tend to render them homosexual. Colleen Lamos's analysis of the operations of gender and sexuality in these texts reveals conflicts, concerning the definition of masculine heterosexuality, which cut across the aesthetics of modernism. She argues that canonical male modernism, far from being a monolithic entity with a coherently conservative political agenda, is in fact the site of errant impulses and unresolved struggles. What emerges is a reconsideration of modernist literature as a whole, and a recognition of the heterogeneous forces which formed and deformed modernism.

"Late Modernism & the Landscape of Perversity" tracks what I term the minor utopianism of the mid-century, exploring the ways in which hopefulness operates as a powerful current of desire in late modernist narratives of sexual minority. I demonstrate that U.S. writers of the mid-century appropriate quasi-scientific discourses of location and sentimental modes of nationalism, using them as vehicles for a perverse optimism. These subtle forms of queer hopefulness and subversive engagements with place generate minor utopianism--a network of optimistic impulses that emerge from satiric and absurd representations of the experience of (dis)location. Each chapter develops a specific example of mid-century American modernist fiction's queer appropriation of scientific, aesthetic, and affective theories of location. The revisionary encounters with geography undertaken by Jane Bowles, Gertrude Stein, and Djuna Barnes emphasize the collusion of scientific explanations of sexuality with the geographic epistemologies used to justify racist nationalisms in the early twentieth century, and also reveal an inherent queerness in modernist thinking about location. The introduction theorizes the concept of minor utopianism, which pairs Deleuze and Guattari's idea of the minor with anti-programmatic forms of utopianism--flashes of fantasy that produce stealthy hope, excess, and unforeseen bonuses of pleasure. Chapter one examines Jane Bowles's critique of the geographic fictions generated by nativist forms of nationalism and sentimental interpretations of the Monroe Doctrine: section one analyzes domestic belonging through the figure of the ersatz Indian in "Camp Cataract," and section two interprets Two Serious Ladies through the Monroe Doctrine's moral geographies. Chapter two contextualizes Gertrude Stein's geographic writings in relation to technical discourses about landscape painting and the picturesque, arguing that Stein's use of the picturesque animates a critical reformulation of sentimental ideologies of U.S. nation-building as well as a queer reimagination of domestic gentility. Chapter three interprets Djuna Barnes's manipulation of neo-Lamarckian theories of environmental determinism, demonstrating that her revision of the principle of direct adaptation results in the "naturalization" of bodies considered degenerate by turn-of-the-century science. All three chapters reveal the emergence of minor utopianism out of the instability of geographies that posit a causal relationship between environment and human character.

According to scholar Joseph Allen Boone, modern fiction with its strong currents of sexuality creates a poetics of the perverse with the power to influence how we think. Challenging common theories, Boone constructs a model for interpreting sexuality that reaches from Freud's theory of the libidinal instincts to Foucault's theory of sexual discourse. A landmark work in the study of modernist fiction and the study of sexuality and gender.

Modern society, Michael Trask argues in this incisive and original book, chose to couch class difference in terms of illicit sexuality. Trask demonstrates how sexual science's concept of erotic perversion mediated the writing of both literary figures and social theorists when it came to the innovative and unsettling social arrangements of the early twentieth century. Trask focuses on the James brothers in a critique of pragmatism and anti-immigrant sentiment, shows the influence of behavioral psychology on Gertrude Stein's work, uncovers a sustained reflection on casual labor in Hart Crane's lyric poetry, and traces the identification of working-class Catholics with deviant passions in Willa Cather's fiction. Finally, Trask examines how literary leftists borrowed the antiprostitution rhetoric of Progressive-era reformers to protest the ascendance of consumerism in the 1920s.Viewing class as a restless and unstable category, Trask contends, American modernist writers appropriated sexology's concept of evasive, unmoored desire to account for the seismic shift in social relations during the Progressive era and beyond. Looking closely at the fraught ideological space between real and perceived class differences, Cruising Modernism discloses there a pervasive representation of sexuality as well.

Irish Modernism and the Politics of Sexual Health explores the politicized role of sexual health as a concept, discourse, and subject of debate within Irish literary culture from 1880 to 1960. Combining perspectives from Irish Studies, Modernist Studies, and the Social History of Medicine, it traces the ways in which authors, politicians, and activists in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Ireland harnessed debates over sexual hygiene, venereal disease, birth control, fertility, and eugenics to envisage competing models of Irish identity, culture, and political community. Analyzing the work of canonical authors (Yeats, Synge, Shaw, Joyce, Beckett, Flann O'Brien) and less often discussed figures (George Moore, Oliver Gogarty, Signe Toksvig, Kate O'Brien) in conversation with medical, scientific, and legal writing on sexual health, it charts how the medicalization and politicization of sex informed the emergence and development of modernism in Ireland. At the same time, by reading this literary material alongside the polemical and journalistic writing of figures such as Arthur Griffith, Maud Gonne, and Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington, it also reveals the ways in which key events in Irish cultural and political history - the Parnell Split, the Limerick Pogrom, the Playboy riots, the passage of the Censorship of Publications Act - were shaped by ongoing debates and dilemmas in the field of sexual health. This book will benefit students, researchers, and readers interested in the history of sex and its regulation in modern Ireland, the impact of sex and medicine on Irish political history, and the nature of modernism's engagement with sex, health, and the body.
