Description

Unsettling Sexuality: Queer Horizons in the Long Eighteenth Century challenges the traditional ways that scholarship has approached sexuality, gender nonconformity, and sex (as well as its absence) in the long eighteenth century. Drawing from recent and emerging criticisms in Middle-Eastern and Asian studies, Black studies, and Native American and Indigenous studies, the collected authors perform intersectional queer readings, reimagine queer historiographic methods, and spearhead new citational models that can invigorate the field. Contributors read with and against diverse European, transatlantic, and global archives to explore mutually informative frameworks of gender, sexuality, race, indigeneity, ability, and class. In charting multidirectional queer horizons, this collection locates new prospective desires and intimacies in the literature, culture, and media of the period to imagine new directions and simultaneously unsettle eighteenth-century studies.

Author Biography:

Jeremy Chow is Assistant Professor of English at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, which sits on the unceded territories of the Susquehannock peoples. His research and teaching interweave eighteenth-century studies, gender and sexuality studies, and the environmental humanities. He is the author of The Queerness of Water: Violent Entanglements in Troubled Ecologies (2023) and the editor of Eighteenth-Century Environmental Humanities (2023). His work has also appeared or is forthcoming from Studies in the Novel, Humanities, Camera Obscura, Digital Defoe, Eighteenth-Century Fiction, Atlantic Studies, Literary Compass, and Sexualities, in addition to several other edited collections. Shelby Johnson is Assistant Professor of English at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, where she researches and teaches on sexuality, race and ecocriticism, and Indigenous studies in the long eighteenth century. Her book, The Rich Earth Between Us: The Intimate Grounds of Race and Sexuality in the Atlantic World is forthcoming from the University of North Carolina Press, 2024. In it, she argues that figures of a gifted earth organize a set of worlding practices that ground and animate anticolonial intimacies. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in MELUS, English Language Notes, and The Eighteenth Century: Theory and Interpretation.
