| Summary: | Unsettling Sexuality: Queer Horizons in the Long Eighteenth Century challenges the traditional ways that scholarship has approached sexuality, gender nonconformity, and sex (as well as its absence) in the long eighteenth century. Drawing from recent and emerging criticisms in Middle Eastern and Asian studies, Black studies and Native American and Indigenous studies, the collected authors perform intersectional queer readings, reimagine queer historiographic methods and spearhead new citational models that can invigorate the field. Contributors read with and against diverse European, transatlantic and global archives to explore mutually informative frameworks of gender, sexuality, race, indigeneity, ability and class. In charting multidirectional queer horizons, this collection locates new prospective desires and intimacies in the literature, culture and media of the period to imagine new directions and simultaneously unsettle eighteenth-century studies. |
