Male Jealousy by Louis Lo

Male Jealousy by Louis Lo

Provides a critical and cultural theory-based study of male jealousy in western culture and its connections with paranoia. This book traces the meanings of jealousy and the representation of jealous men and argues that jealousy is promoted within patriarchy. It also explores the economy of possession and its relationship to the body.

"Louis Lo has written an exemplary work, making comparison of texts from different cultures absolutely new and freshHistoricizing an emotion whose relationship to paranoia and love becomes acutely apparent in analyzing Cervantes, Shakespeare and Proust, he moves expertly through different modes, relating jealousy to gender and film theory, to Freud and Derrida, and to comparisons between Britain, France, Argentina, Spain, and Hong Kong. Its scope and achievement is productive, fertile and stimulating." -Jeremy Tambling, Professor of Literature, University of Manchester, UK.
