LIT-3390: Queer Literature-A Brief Survey Fiction, Poetry, Drama, Memoir and Film

This is a multi-genre literature course focusing on work by queer writers from Radclyff Hall to Tony Kushner. How does being in the life inform the works of these authors? Are there consistent themes, concerns, symbols, metaphors inherent in gay and lesbian work? What impact does homophobia have, and how has the literature changed over the 20th century? Is there a marked difference between literature pre-Stonewall, and post-Stonewall? Students examine the role of humor in gay and lesbian writing, as well as issues such as AIDS, class, race, trans-gendered identity, bisexuality.
