LGBTQ Young Adult Fiction - A Critical Survey, 1970s-2010s (Paperback)

Young adult literature featuring teenage lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning characters is growing in popularity. Unlike the ""problem novels"" of the past, which focused on the guilt, bullying and isolation of LGBTQ characters, today's narratives present more sympathetic and celebratory portrayals. The author explores a selection of recent novels-many of which may be new to readers-and places them in the wider contexts of LGBTQ literature and history. Chapters discuss a range of topics, including the relationship of Queer Theory to literature, LGBTQ families, and recent trends in utopian and dystopian science fiction.
