Gide's bent: sexuality, politics, writing

Gide's Bent investigates the place of sexuality in the writings of André Gide, one of the first "out" modern writers.

Focusing on his writing of the 1920s and 1930s, the years in which Gide wrote most openly about his homosexuality and also the years of his most notable left-wing political activity, Gide's Bent interrogates both the political content of his reflections on his homosexuality and the ways his sexuality inflected his politicalinterests.

Provocative examination of one of the first openly homosexual writers, André Gide.
