Summary: | The works of Uruguayan Modernista Roberto de las Carreras, scandalous in their day and often dismissed by the critical tradition as the work of a "godless dandy", a self-promoter and a madman, intersect in suggestive ways with anarchist politics flourishing at the turn of the twentieth century. Through the work of Carreras, El amor libre en Montevideo studies the implications of this intersection between the work of a dandy, pornographer and self-proclaimed aesthete and the radical political movements of his day.
