In the LESBIAN AND GAY STUDIES series this work draws on literary and cultural theory to demonstrate the ways in which lesbian identities are ascribed and resisted. It looks at the identity models of the hero, the flaneur and the lesbian outlaw as well as lesbian 'space' both materially and imaginatively.
Heroic Desire (Lesbian \u0026 Gay Studies) Reviews
-
Why am I such a big fan of this book? It's probably one of the only ones that does not focus on "shame" "violence" "death" and "suicide." It was an uplifting read, for once. It provides a space to think about something uplifting in a critically engaged way. I tend to think it's much harder to write on "positive" topics for fear that there's not enough drama to pull us through, but Munt reminds us that to be a "hero," means surviving major trials and tribulations! HAHA
