This book exposes the ways in which ostensibly normative sexualities depend upon queerness to shore up their claims of privilege. Through readings of such classic texts as The Canterbury Tales and Eger and Grime, Tison Pugh explains how sexual normativity can often be claimed only after queerness has been rejected.
