Shortlisted for the Modernist Studies Assocation Book Prize -Statue-fondlers, wanderlusters, sex magicians, and nymphomaniacs: the story of these forgotten sexualities-what Michel Foucault deemed "minor perverts"-has never before been told. The book narrates the shift from Foucault's "thousand aberrant sexualities" to one: homosexuality. In The Book of Minor Perverts, Benjamin Kahan sets out to chart the proliferation of sexual classification that arose with the advent of nineteenth-century sexology.
The result stands at the intersection of history, queer studies, and the medical humanities to offer us a new way of feeling our way into the The focus here is less on the effects of queer identity and more on the lines of causation behind a surprising array of minor perverts who refuse to fit neatly into our familiar sexual frameworks.
