Foucault's Virginity Ancient Erotic Fiction and the History of Sexuality

This is a study of how sex and sexuality are written about in the first centuries of this era, a central period in the history of sexuality. Writing with the same wit and verve as the ancient writers with whom he engages, Simon Goldhill shows how the standard accounts of sexuality in this period are distorted by ignoring the sexy, ironic and often bizarre texts of ancient novels, erotic poetry and humorous dialogues.Goldhill, Simon is the author of 'Foucault's Virginity Ancient Erotic Fiction and the History of Sexuality' with ISBN 9780521479349 and ISBN 0521479347.
