Erotic Reckonings is written by Thomas Simmons and published by University of Illinois Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0252021207 (ISBN 10) and 9780252021206 (ISBN 13).

Drawing on classical and feminist psychoanalytic theory, Thomas Simmons argues that mentor-apprentice relationships are inescapably erotic, though not necessarily sexual. Pound and Winters manifest profound conflicts between allegiance to a tradition of knowledge and allegiance to apprentices; both tend to master the apprentice, to bind her to a body of knowledge.
