Confessions of the Letter Closet

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the evolution of epistolary novels in Spain, the work delves into themes of homoeroticism and homosexual desire, emphasizing the secrecy and guilt surrounding these expressions. By integrating queer theory, psychoanalysis, and historical context, the author analyzes how letter writing reflects societal attitudes towards sexuality and identity amidst changing legal landscapes. The book not only addresses male and female desire but also connects Spanish literature to broader epistolary traditions, enriching discussions in queer theory and confessional discourse.
