E-Book Overview
The <EM>Encyclopedia of Erotic Literature is a two-volume work that contains some 540 entries on erotic literature on an international scale. The <EM>Encyclopedia has an unprecedented scope, the first scholarly reference resource to bring the field together in all its fascinating variety. The entries examine the history of the literature in different countries and languages from classical antiquity to the present day, individual writers from around the world (not all of them necessarily known as specialist writers of erotic literature), significant works, genres and critical approaches, and general themes pertinent to erotic literature (nudity, prostitution, etc.). The definition of erotic literature is broad, encompassing all the material recognized in the study of the field: not just fiction in all genres (novels, poetry, short stories, drama), but also essays, autobiographies, treatises and sex manuals from different cultures. This <EM>Encyclopedia deals with sexually explicit texts characterized by sexual representations and suggestions. All types of sexuality are included.
