      From Odysseus's seduction by the song of the Sirens to Oscar Moore's 1991 "A Matter of Life and Sex", whose protagonist courts death through sex and dies of AIDS, the frustrated relationship between death and desire has fixated the Western imagination. Philosophers have grapled with it and poets have told of its beauty and pain In this work, cultural critic Jonathan Dollimore provides nuanced analysis that blends Plato with Shelley and Holderlin with Foucault. He weaves a thread through each to tell the story of the making of the modern individual. "Death, Desire and Loss in Westen Culture" is a challenge to the way we understand desire, sexuality and the very notion of identity.
