"Cultural Politics - Queer Reading" is a bold and enduring
challenge to the assumptions that have shaped the study of English
literature. It offers a widely influential investigation of the
principles and practice that may inform dissident reading and a
compelling argument for intellectual allegiances beyond the
academy.
Since its initial publication in 1994, the lively, accessible
polemic of "Cultural Politics - Queer Reading" has stimulated
debates on the future of critical theory and the role of gender,
ethnic and cultural studies within academic literary studies. Alan
Sinfield engages - freely, provocatively and wittily - with topics
such as the gendering of literary culture, the sexual politics of
psychoanalysis during the Cold War and the history of cultural
materialism, and discusses figures such as William Shakespeare,
Christopher Marlowe, Raymond Williams, Louis Althusser, Walt
Whitman, Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, Holly Hughes, Audre
Lorde, Thom Gunn and JeanetteWinterson. In an illuminating new
introduction written especially for this edition, Sinfield revisits
the book's agenda for a new form of cultural critique and a truly
political lesbian and gay studies. He situates the volume in its
original contexts, assesses the fate of queer theory and renews his
call for an "Englit" that confidently incorporates ongoing study of
the cultures of ethnicity, gender and sexuality.
