Course Description: Gay & Lesbian Literature*

Gay & Lesbian Literature*

52-2655

Course deals with some of the following questions: What is gay and lesbian culture? How is it unique? What kinds of literary images suggest uniqueness? Course focuses on contemporary texts that may include those of Judy Grahn, Paul Monette, Audre Lorde, Rita Mae Brown, and John Rechy. Instruction includes examination of earlier works such as Baldwin's Giovanni's Room and Cather's My Antonia to discover gay and lesbian themes often ignored or concealed in more traditional textual analyses.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
