Books in progress

I am currently working on a monograph about old women, a biography of Margaret Anderson, and the concluding editorial stages of the Routledge Companion to Queer Theory and Modernism (under contract). This volume will be the first comprehensive collection of scholarship on the history, current scope, and future directions of queer modernist studies. Although queer theory entered the academy just before the "new" and "bad" modernisms of the early 21st-century exploded and revised the purview of modernist studies, there has yet to appear a large-scale reference work addressing the mutual influences and intersections of modernism, sexuality, and queer theory. It should be impossible to think about modernism without thinking about queer sexuality. This volume provides a foundational collection of research into these intertwined fields of study that will become invaluable to scholars and students in a range of disciplines and sub-fields.
