Description

So much of great literature centres on explorations of gender, sex, and sexuality. What does it mean to be a proper man or woman; what if one cannot be properly called either? Should one wield one's sexual power politically? What is the relation between law, divine or secular, and sexuality? What does it mean to fail at doing gender? These are just some of the questions that this volume, edited by Margaret Breen, Professor of English and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at University of Connecticut, examines. Essays will consider a range of texts, including Murasaki Shikibu's Tale of Genji , John Milton's Paradise Lost , Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof , and Alison Bechdel's Are You My Mother? , in light of issues of gender, sex, and sexuality, and their interplay.
