Note publique d'information : Moby-Dick's Ishmael and Queequeg share a bed, Janie in Zora Neale Hurston's Their
Eyes Were Watching God imagines her tongue in another woman's mouth. And yet for too
long there has not been a volume that provides an account of the breadth and depth
of queer American literature. This landmark volume provides the first expansive history
of this literature from its inception to the present day, offering a narrative of
how American literary studies and sexuality studies became deeply entwined and what
they can teach each other. It examines how American literature produces and is in
turn woven out of sexualities, gender pluralities, trans-ness, erotic subjectivities,
and alternative ways of inhabiting bodily morphology. In so doing, the volume aims
to do nothing less than revise the ways in which we understand the whole of American
literature. It will be an indispensable resource for scholars, graduate students,
and undergraduates.
