Reviews

Boswell reveals unexplored phenomena with an unfailing erudition. - Michel Foucault What makes this work so exciting is not simply its content - fascinating though that is - but its revolutionary challenge to some of Western culture's most familiar moral assumptions. - Jean Strouse, Newsweek
