30th Anniversary of Eve Sedgwick's "Between Men"

Introducing a New Generation to the Book  that Changed Humanities Scholarship  NEW RELEASES LITERARY STUDIES QUEER STUDIES Between Men, 30th Anniversary Ed. English Literature and Male Homosocial Desire Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick; Foreword by Wayne Koestenbaum First published in 1985, Between Men challenged old ways of reading while articulating critical byways for two emerging disciplines. Its iconoclastic approach gave queer studies and gender studies scholars further reason to crack open the canon, scrutinize its contents, and add unconventional texts on sound theoretical grounds. Striking a devastating blow to the hegemony of heteronormative critique, it opened not only literature but also politics, religion, society, and culture to broader investigations of power, desire, and sex. Between Men still has much more to tell us, and much work left to do. It has kept pace with Western society's evolving ideas of and debates on gender and sexuality and provides insight into its recent conservative and religious turns. With a new foreword by Wayne Koestenbaum emphasizing the work's ongoing importance, Sedgwick's landmark book remains a key analysis of homosocial desire in Western literature for any reader curious about the subject's claim to legitimacy. Read more Gender and Culture $25.00 $17.50 | Paper | 272 pages | £17.50*   USE COUPON CODE SEDBET AND SAVE 30%   *Customers in UK, Europe, and Middle East please contact customer@wiley.com STAY CONNECTED
