Bringing together twenty-seven established and emerging scholars, The Routledge Companion to Queer Literary Studies discusses the historical development, current state, future directions, and political stakes of queer literary studies as a field of research and pedagogy. This innovative collection offers new frameworks for studying and teaching literature, art, film, music, theory, and philosophy from the medieval period to the twenty-first century. The contributors consider the structural implication of gender and sexuality with race, class, gender, ability, colonialism, capital, empire, ability, and relationships between human and non-human life and matter. The Routledge Companion to Queer Literary Studies is a vital resource for scholars, students, and teachers working across a range of historical periods, critical methods, and objects of study. It offers a multitude of approaches to queer literary studies, revealing the field to be as vital, and as contested, as ever.

For the past 60 years, Leo Bersani has inspired, resisted, guided, and challenged scholarly work in the fields of literary criticism, queer theory, cultural studies, psychoanalytic theory, and film and visual studies. Moving across an impressive range of sources, Mikko Tuhkanen seeks out the “fundamental notes”-the questions that we find and refind-in Bersani's extensive oeuvre across the decades. The chapters explore Bersani's engagement with psychoanalytic theory (Freud, Laplanche, Klein, Lacan), French and American modernist fiction (Proust, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, James, Beckett), poststructuralist theory (Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze, Guattari, Blanchot), queer theory (Butler, Edelman), and the visual arts (Caravaggio, Almodóvar, Pasolini, Malick, Dumont). This first introduction to Bersani's work provides a chronological overview of his thought and details his contributions to literary studies and critical theory.
