Essays in Lesbian Feminist Studies

Plot

In the editor's words, this volume is about the relationship of politics with pleasure. A deliberately feminist anthology that addresses three centuries of English language lesbian culture and literature: 17th century verse; 19th century fiction; and 20th century prose dramas, and also looks at lesbian themes in mainstream theatre and cinema. The twelve UK-based authors include U.A. Fanthorpe, Emma Donaghue, Sandra Freeman, Elaine Miller and Chris White.
