Reviews
George Haggerty's book Men in Love is a complex and persuasive discussion of the phenomenon of public expression of male-male love., Men in Love makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the period. This is a fine example of gay studies casting light on a whole culture., " Men in Lovemakes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the period. This is a fine example of gay studies casting light on a whole culture." -- Gregory Woods, Times Literary Supplement (London), Like Rowland's, the book should be seen as one vista on the trek to recover how modern Western sexuality evolved its particular taxonomy. Highly recommended, particularly for graduate students through faculty., "In this brief and provocative study, Haggerty moves from Restoration texts such as Rochester's 'The Imperfect Enjoyment,' Dryden's All for Love, and Lee's The Rival Queens to the later eighteenth-century writings by and about Gray, Beckford, and Walpole....This book's greatest contribution to the study of the history of gender/sexuality is the author's provocative claims about the fundamentals of heroic friendship, modern bourgeois subjectivity, and sensibility....Haggerty's arguments are convincing and compelling. His style is one which makes the often new and provocative ideas he presents seem self-evident....Haggerty's book makes a rich and unique contribution to the study of the history of gender and sexuality. Students and scholars in the field will surely benefit from his critical insights." -- Laura L. Mendelson, Department of History, State University of New York, Stony Brook, Journal of the History of Sexuality, " Men in Love makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the period. This is a fine example of gay studies casting light on a whole culture." -- Gregory Woods, Times Literary Supplement (London), "Like Rowland's, the book should be seen as one vista on the trek to recover how modern Western sexuality evolved its particular taxonomy.

Synopsis
Love in all its cultural and personal complexity is the focus of this book. While scholars of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century homoerotic culture have tended to focus on sexual behavior and the much-maligned figure of the sodomite, George E. Haggerty argues that the concepts of love and emotional intimacy offer a more useful perspective for understanding male-male relations of the time. Haggerty considers male "identities" of many kinds: heroic friends, as found in seventeenth-century French romance and Restoration tragedy, and personal friends, as in the erotic relationships of Gray, Walpole, and West; fops and beaus, as depicted in Restoration and early eighteenth-century comedy and various satirical portraits; effeminate sodomites and mollies depicted in literature and sodomy trial accounts throughout the period; men of feeling and other figures in whom sensibility and sexuality are vividly interconnected. He also discusses libertines and sexual aggressors, especially as depicted in the pages of Gothic fiction., Arguing that the personally and culturally complex concepts of love and emotional intimacy offer a more useful perspective for understanding male-male relations of the eighteenth century than scholarship which focuses exclusively on sexual behavior, Haggerty examines several eighteenth -century archetypes of same-sex relations in which sensibility and sexuality emerge as interdependent.
