Description

This book explores representations of male same-sex desire in Pre-Qin and Two Han dynasty texts, uncovering how early Chinese literature embedded queer relationships within political rhetoric, ritual language, and cultural ideology. Drawing on historical records, philosophical works, and poetic texts, it challenges modern assumptions about sexuality by situating ancient homoerotic narratives in their specific sociopolitical contexts. This study reveals the subtle interplay between power, desire, and cultural legitimacy in early imperial China.
