Book Description:

Not until recently has gay American literature become a genre in its own right, nor has there been a full-length critical survey of it in its entire range - fiction, non-fiction, drama and poetry. Gaiety Transfigured makes distinguished contributions on both these fronts, helping to identify and define the corpus of gay writing in America and bringing to it its first theoretically-informed critical appreciation.
