Thesis (Ph.D.)--Rice University, 2003.

This dissertation employs the psychoanalytic theories of Jacques Lacan and Jean Laplanche in order to analyze the role of the “rhetoric of seduction” in masculine self-identifications and in transformations of the meaning of masculinity between 1890 and 1918. Seduction is understood as simultaneously a process of disrupting the subject's illusion of a stable masculine identity and a process through which that illusion is regained and sustained. Chapter 1 discusses the competing discourses of corruption and the Platonic model of male bonding in the Oscar Wilde trials and the unstable boundary between self-development and influence in <italic>The Picture of Dorian Gray</italic>. Chapter 2 focuses on Andre Gide's construction of an “authentic,” masculine homosexual identity in his memoir <italic> If It Die</italic> and in <italic>The Immoralist</italic>, arguing that such an identity necessarily contains the impulse of its own internal disintegration. Chapter 3 argues that the vampire in Bram Stoker's <italic>Dracula</italic> resembles the psychoanalyst in facilitating the subject's access to his unconscious but also serving the subject's retreat within the boundaries of a stable ego formation. Finally, Chapter 4 explores E. M. Forster's <italic>Maurice</italic> as an account of the development of a masculinity appropriate for a “liberal individualist,” through an emphasis on the role of sexuality and personal relationships in Forster's political vision.Subjects--Topical Terms:
