Queer / LGBTQ+ Literature: Then and Now Series
In each four-week, four-class series, learners will study periods of literature set in the Pre-Stonewall, Post-Stonewall, and the 21st Century eras. We will ask: what has changed in queer literature since the beginning of the 19th century? While it’s now possible to find books that feature protagonists in a wide variety of genders and sexualities, there are still obstacles for queer authors, and we will study how those obstacles have shifted and changed with the queer movement.
