- Annotation
- Relates the novel s treatment of anti-normal sexuality to the early twentieth-century theories of liberal marriage experts and sexologists. Argues that Catherine and Frederic s nontraditional relationship and sexual fantasies oppose even today s standard sexual conventions. Moddelmog draws on the controversial writings of British sexologist Havelock Ellis to interpret the homoerotic overtones of Rinaldi, Helen, and the priest in relation to Catherine and Frederic.
