"Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick is one of the most original and influential thinkers in critical and gender theory. Her work includes such groundbreaking books as Epistemology of the Closet and Between Men: English Literature and Homo-social Desire, writings that have powerfully influenced ideas of the body, of literature, and of identities. Regarding Sedgwick brings together new essays by distinguished critics to provide a sustained critical engagement with Sedgwick's work. The volume includes an extensive interview with Sedgwick, in which she speaks of her work, and of the situation of queer studies, critical theory, and the academy at the turn of a millennium."--BOOK JACKET.
