Lesbian writers include some of the most innovative and
adventurous writers of this century, but only recently have they
been given their due attention in terms of critical study. This
book is the first anthology to discuss the subject of lesbianism as
it relates to the critical interaction among readers, writers, and
literary critics. It explores lesbian texts in terms of
identification, meaning, and interpretation, and examines the
complex entanglements of identity, voice, intersubjectivity,
textualities, and sexualities.
"A wonderful exploration of the varieties of life choices
lesbians can and do make. This book once again proves that telling
the truth aboutyourself is a revolutionary act."
--"Rita Mae Brown"
"They will probably drum Karla Jay and Joanne Glasgow out of the
academy for this one...A college text that is witty, literate,
interesting, and can be read for fun. What's the world coming to?
"Lesbian Texts and Contexts" dry title, wonderful book."
--"Barbara Grier, Editor Naiad Press"
"To call this collection much-needed or eagerly awaited would be
the understatement of the year. It's thrilling ot think of the new
readings of classic texts, the new directions for theory,
and--maybe best of all--the new range of literary encounters in the
classroom, that will be enabled by this radical intervention on the
critical scene."
--"Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Duke University"
"Excellent, ...challenging, sexy, ...never boring."
--"Outweek."
