Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick was one of the most significant literary theorists of the last forty years and a key figure in contemporary queer theory. In this engaging and inspiring guide, Jason Edwards:

  • introduces and explains key terms such as affects, the first person, homosocialities, and queer taxonomies, performativities and cusps
  • considers Sedgwick's poetry and textile art alongside her theoretical texts
  • encourages a personal as well as an academic response to Sedgwick's work, suggesting how life-changing it can be
  • offers detailed suggestions for further reading
  • Written in an accessible and direct style, Edwards indicates the impact that Sedgwick's work continues to have on writers, readers, and literary and cultural theory today.
