Synopsis "The Caricature of Love: A Discussion of Social, Psychiatric, and Literary Manifestations of Pathologic Sexuality (in English)"
2018 Reprint of 1957 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. In this book, Dr. Cleckley appears to have summoned considerable literary talent, erudition, and intense personal conviction in a effort to demonstrate homosexual influences in our culture and the Freudian doctrines that he believes support these influences. The book is a cyclopedic collection of homosexual allusions in the literature and its provocative thesis that subversive homosexual influences are a threatening fact of modern times. Questions raised and answered by the author include whether homosexuality is pathological and whether we should be alarmed about its incidence in our society and its alleged promulgation by such things as the Kinsey report, Gide's citation by the Nobel Prize Committee, and the popularity of Freudian psychiatry. He concerns himself in one chapter with the subtle propaganda the public is exposed to by the high percentage of homosexual persons in the movie business. Overall the book is weights in very much against homosexuality and properly belongs to the literature of the 1950's. Still of interest as a period piece and demonstrative of considerable learning.
