Gay and Lesbian Literature Since World War II chronicles the
multifaceted explosion of gay and lesbian writing that has taken
place in the second half of the twentieth century. Encompassing a
wide range of subject matter and a balance of gay and lesbian
concerns, it includes work by established scholars as well as young
theoreticians and archivists who have initiated new areas of
investigation. The contributors'examinations of this rich literary
period make it easy to view the half-century from 1948 to 1998 as
the Queer Renaissance. Included in Gay and Lesbian Literature Since
World War II are critical and social analyses of literary
movements, novels, short fiction, periodicals, and poetry as well
as a look at the challenges of establishing a repository for
lesbian cultural history. Specific chapters in this groundbreaking
work trace the development of gay poetry in America after World War
II; examine how AIDS is represented in the first four Latino novels
to deal with the subject matter; and chronicle the birth of
lesbian-feminist publishing in the 1970s--showing how it created a
flourishing gay literature in the 1980s and 1990s. Other chapters:
outline the history of The Ladder from its initial publication in
1956 as the official vehicle of the Daughters of Bilitis to its
final issue as a privately published literary magazine in 1972
examine Baldwin's 1962 novel Another Country and discuss the
complicated critical history of this work and its relation to
Baldwin's literary reputation--racial, sexual, and political
factors are taken into account chart how Other Voices, Other Rooms,
by Truman Capote, and The House of Breath, by William Goyen, reveal
contradictory genderings of male homosexuality--suggesting an
absence of a unified model of mid-twentieth-century male
homosexuality argue that the 1976 novel Lover, by Bertha Harris,
can be considered an exemplary novel within discussions of both
postmodern fiction and lesbian theory. (The author calls for Harris
to be added to the group of writers such as Wittig, Anzald?a,
Lorde, and Winterson, who are discussed within the context of a
postmodern lesbian narrative.) examine the short fiction of
Canadian lesbian novelist Jane Rule in an effort to shed light on
lesbian creative practice in the homophobic climate of postwar
North America argue for an understanding of Dale Peck's novel
Martin and John as an attempt to link two apparently different
processes of import to contemporary male subjects through
examination of the novel alongside selected passages from Nietzsche
and Freud focus on the pragmatic issues of developing and
maintaining accessible research venues from which to cultivate the
study of racial and cultural diversity in lesbian lives Document
the history of the Lesbian Herstory Archives, one of the first
