Description

Queer/Early/Modern by Carla Freccero explores the relationship between history and literature, challenging traditional notions of identity and subjectivity. By examining literary texts from different periods, Freccero argues for a new approach to understanding the past and its ongoing impact on our present. This book proposes an alternative reading practice that takes into account the indeterminacies of subjectivity found in literary texts, encouraging readers to reevaluate their relationship with history and literature. Combining feminist theory, queer theory, psychoanalysis, deconstruction, and literary criticism, Freccero offers a nuanced model of "fantasmatic historiography" that brings together past and present. Through close readings of selected texts, including lyric poetry and historical works, Freccero demonstrates the potential of this new approach to understanding the complexities of identity and history.
