Novel Approaches to Lesbian History tells a tale about history and
community in our allegedly post-identity era, examining
contemporary novels that depict lesbian characters in recognizable
historical situations. These imaginative stories provide a
politically vital, speculative past in the face of a sketchy,
problematic archive. Among the memorable characters in some 200
novels are pirates, cowgirls, and famous artists, ghosts and time
travellers, immigrants and lovers. The best lesbian historical
novels are conscientious and buoyant as they engage critical
historiographical questions, but Novel Approaches also discusses
the class and race biases that weigh on the genre. Some lesbian
historical novels are based on archival evidence, others on
conjecture or fantasy, but all convey the true fact that identity
is elusive without a past, without which its future is nearly
impossible.
