In addition, the book represents a significant intervention into recent debates about reparative reading, surface reading, and the descriptive turn across the humanities, because of its sustained, positive accounts on Sedgwick's books as visual, textural, and material objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book ranges across Sedgwick's published output, from \u003ci\u003eThe Coherence of Gothic Conventions\u003c\/i\u003e (1980) to the posthumously published \u003ci\u003eThe Weather in Proust\u003c\/i\u003e (2011), and features her meditations on a wide variety of art-historical topoi, including Judith Scott's queer\/crip fiber art; the anality of Polykleitos's \u003ci\u003eDoryphorus\u003c\/i\u003e; queer Modernist typography; Piranesi's punitive space; Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell's queer holy family; Manet's frontality and thalassic aesthetics; fat and thin aesthetics of various stripes; and the queer photography of Anna Atkins, Clementina Hawarden, and Julia Margaret Cameron; Baron De Mayer, Eugene Atget, and P.H. Emerson; as well as David Hockney, Ken Brown, and her own father, a NASA lunar photographer. The book climaxes with two chapter-length explorations of Sedgwick's own late-life book-art practice: her panda Valentine alphabet cards (c. 1996) and her \u003ci\u003eLast Days of Pompeii\/Cavafy\u003c\/i\u003e unique artist's book (c. 2007). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJason Edwards\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Art History at the University of York, where he works at the intersections of queer and vegan theory, and on British art history in its global contexts in the period from \u003ci\u003ec\u003c\/i\u003e.1760-1940.
