This volume, which brings together an impressive array of top-level specialists, is the first to analyze the eroticism of the esoteric without sensationalism or cheap generalizations, but on the basis of expert scholarship and attention to textual and historical detail. While there are few domains where the imagination may so easily run wild, the various contributions seek to distinguish fact from fiction-only to find that historical realities are sometimes even stranger than the fantasies. In doing so, they reveal the outlines of a largely unknown history spanning more than twenty centuries. 001477796 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001477796 546__ $$aIn English. 001477796 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 03.
