- Summary:
- Recent scholarship investigating the contemporary cultural representation of sexuality has tended to focus on film, theater, and the visual arts, rather than literature. Arguing for the continued centrality of literature's role in how contemporary sexuality is defined and understood around the Anglophone world, the editors (professors of English at Nanyang Technological U., Singapore) present nine papers that engage with contemporary Anglophone literature from the overlapping scholarly perspectives of feminism, queer theory, and post-colonial studies.
