Reviews
Review from previous edition Appears well placed to make an influential intervention in cultural theory on both sides of the Atlantic....A carefully argued, thought-provoking book that makes fascinating connections among different kinds of discourse while carrying an affective punch far beyond the academic routine * Modern Language Quarterly * Dollimore's amazing command of Western literary culture is evident in the historical and disciplinary sweep of his book * Signs * This is a thoughtful and challenging book, not only for its reappraisals of hoary academic controversies like the constructionist-essentialist standoff, but because of the many intriguing analytical formulations it propounds * Choice * A massive and authoritative contribution to the debate on cultural politics....Every student should own and use a copy. More to the point, so should anyone who presumes to teach * Times Higher Education Supplement * A substantial and ambitious book....It is a book that needed to be written, requiring the courage to tackle several conventionally distinct fields of knowledge and interpretation * Times Literary Supplement *

Author Information
Jonathan Dollimore pioneered cultural materialism; then he pioneered gay studies. He subsequently turned his attention to a fresh interrogation of those dark, recalcitrant elements of desire and mortality which resist utopian transformation. His influential books include Radical Tragedy (1984), Death, Desire and Loss in Western Culture (1998), Sex Literature and Censorship (2001) and, with Alan Sinfield, Political Shakespeare (1985). Dollimore's most recent, path-breaking intervention is the powerfully personal Desire: a Memoir (Bloomsbury, 2017). Dollimore has held professorships at the Universities of Sussex and York, and he has lectured and taught throughout the world.
