Tame Passions of Wilde: The Styles of Manageable Desire
Jeff Nunokawa
Traces the variety of social pressures that inspired Oscar Wilde's lifelong effort to concoct forms of desire that thrill without menacing us, as well as the alchemies by which he sought to do so. This book assigns Wilde a place of honor in a company of thinkers drawn from the ranks of philosophy, sociology, economics, psychoanalysis, and more.
