| Abstract | "Contemporary Queer Modernism is a collection of scholarship that offers a fresh, interdisciplinary approach to the study of the intersections of queer studies and modernist studies. The theoretical expansiveness and mutual imbrication of these still-growing fields is both introduced and complicated in the pages of this volume. Presenting a wide range of critical perspectives, the collection brings together original scholarship from both emerging and established scholars that, when read together, demonstrates the continued vitality of queer modernist studies. The book is divided into 5 parts: - Temporality - Form - Embodiment - Networks - Affect and Atmosphere Contemporary Queer Modernism is a foundational collection that will be invaluable to scholars and students studying modernism and queer theory across a range of disciplines, including gender and sexuality studies, literary studies, cultural studies and theatre"-- Provided by publisher. |
