In the last two decades, lesbian and gay studies have transformed
literary studies and developed into a vital and influential area
for students and scholars. This Companion introduces readers to the
range of debates that inform studies of works by lesbian and gay
writers and of literary representations of same-sex desire and
queer identities. Each chapter introduces key concepts in the field
in an accessible way and uses several important literary texts to
illustrate how these concepts can illuminate our readings of them.
Authors discussed range from Henry James, E. M. Forster and
Gertrude Stein to Sarah Waters and Carol Ann Duffy. The
contributors showcase the wide variety of approaches and
theoretical frameworks that characterise this field, drawing on
related themes of gender and sexuality. With a chronology and guide
to further reading, this volume offers a stimulating introduction
to the diversity of approaches to lesbian and gay literature.
