Rezensionen

"Why is it that so many of America's greatest long poems have been written by homosexual men? In Whitman's Queer Children Catherine Davies brilliantly explores the genealogy of the American epic, and its subtle-and not so subtle-queering by Hart Crane, Allen Ginsberg, James Merrill and John Ashbery. Combining incisive close readings with social history and literary theory, this study presents a range of persuasive and fascinating critical perspectives on four of the most significant and influential poets of the twentieth century." -- Mark Ford, Professor of English, University College London, UK
