What does it mean to read queerly? The Edinburgh Companion to Queer Reading upholds intersectional thinking to recognise the wide currency and appeal of queer studies for a new generation of scholars, activists, students and interested allies. Its four interconnecting parts 'transing queer readings', 'reading queer ecologies', 'queer reading as practice' and 'reading queer futures' speak to, and help to critique and foreground, expansive queer epistemologies. Contributors evocatively explore the relationships between queerness and genders, embodiments, race, narrative, methodology, history, literature, media and art. Bringing together emerging and established queer theorists, this timely collection demonstrates how germane queer readings, theories and companions are to the livelihood of interdisciplinary research and humanistic inquiry in the 2020s.
Jeremy Chow is Assistant Professor of English at Bucknell University (USA). Chow’s scholarship interweaves literary studies, the environmental humanities and queer studies. Chow is the editor of Eighteenth-Century Environmental Humanities (2023) and the author of The Queerness of Water: Troubled Ecologies in the Eighteenth Century (2023). Declan Kavanagh is Senior Lecturer in Eighteenth-Century Studies at the University of Kent (UK). Kavanagh’s research covers eighteenth-century studies, queer studies, and disability studies. He is the author of Effeminate Years: Literature, Politics, and Aesthetics in Mid-Eighteenth-Century Britain (2017) as well as numerous articles and book chapters on the literary history of masculinities and queerness.
