Queer Times: Past, Present, Future in LGBTQ+ Literature

Catalog description

This course will explore how queer literature has been used by authors and critics to think through questions of time and temporality: is there continuity between historical queer lives and contemporary ones? How do we relate to queer predecessors, and how do we imagine queer futures, and why are these questions so important to queer literature? Readings will include poems, plays and novels, alongside a selection of critical and theoretical essays and articles.
