This ground-breaking work, is an interpretation of the life and work of Friedrich Nietzsche, James Joyce, Sigmund Freud, D. H. Lawrence, André Gide, Martin Heidegger and Virginia Woolf that shows how each related to and drifted from religion in large part because they believed that Christian sexual morality had damaged or threatened to damage their love life" --
