4 out of 5 stars Falling in love can be complicated!   July 28, 2006
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This edition boasts an engrossing translation: graceful, articulate and capturing the sensuality of Gautier's prose. Furthermore Duncker's introduction updates many of the novel's themes using contemporary references to explicate 19th century sexual mores. I felt the story provided an entertaining exploration of the `art' of seduction and the psychosocial basis for hetero- and homosexual attraction. Gautier juxtaposes the Chevalier d'Albert's quest for the ideal female lover with Mademoiselle de Maupin's clandestine desire to understand the true nature of men. In doing so Gautier cleverly exposes the nature of homoerotic desire to such an extent that those of us who feel secure with our own sexuality may be forced to rethink what if?
