title: Bodies at Risk: Unsafe Limits in Romanticism and Postmodernism (SUNY series in Postmodern Culture)
author:  Robert Burns Neveldine 
description: Bodies at Risk is exhilarating; it negotiates among texts and theoretical positions with a dexterity and sophistication that is both illuminating and refreshing. There are any number of books now on the market that address the nature and politics of postmodernism, and I dont think we really need another. But then Neveldines book is not just anotherthere is, to my knowledge, nothing quite like it. Bodies at Risk is something of a genre unto itself.  Paul Morrison, Brandeis University<br /><br />This is an eccentric book (in the best sense of the term): it is highly personal and idiosyncratic, yet it speaks to a common queer-theoretical pursuit.  Eric Savoy, University of Calgary

  So violent and motley was life, that it bore the mixed smell of blood and
  roses. The men of that time always oscillate between the fear of hell and the
  most naïve joy, between cruelty and tenderness
