Using Alchemical Memory Techniques for the Interpretation of Literature: John Donne, George Herbert, and Richard Crashaw
This book explores the linking of the ideas of sex and schooling in predominently C17th-C18th literature, the way in which the erotic becomes a philosophical and educative quest, so that sex is the source of culture and cultivation. This builds on the Platonic tradition of the Symposium, especially Diotima's speech, but explores the way this discourse expands in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Taking libertine literature as his sphere, Turner has written a dense and erudite book as suggestive as it is informative. My only slight criticism is that, despite the title, this doesn't really extend back to the erotic literature of the C16th although he does (has to) discuss Aretino.
A stimulating book, but irritatingly doesn't have a bibliography in the back (though it is meticulously footnoted).
