Sommario/riassunto |
|
Offering a model for meaningful dialogue between queer and environmental studies, Azzarello's book traces a queer-environmental lineage in American Romantic and post-Romantic literature. Azzarello's study treats four American authors-Henry David Thoreau, Herman Melville, Willa Cather and Djuna Barnes-all of whom problematize conventional notions of the matrix between the human, the natural and the sexual and challenge the assumption that the subject of American environmental literature is essentially heterosexual. |
