Promiscuity in Western Literature

By Peter Stoneley

Book Overview

Promiscuity in Western Literature capitalises on the fact that literature gives us deep and varied resources for reflecting on this controversial aspect of human behaviour. Drawing on authors from Homer to Margaret Atwood, it shows how the idea of promiscuity has been a source of anxiety and fantasy, and a means of control.
