Combining poetry, wit, polemic, and dazzling scholarship with memorial and autobiography, these essays have set new standards of passion and truthfulness for current theoretical writing.\u003cbr\u003eThe essays range from Diderot, Oscar Wilde, and Henry James to queer kids and twelve-step programs; from \"Jane Austen and the Masturbating Girl\" to a performance piece on Divine written with Michael Moon; from political correctness and the poetics of spanking to the experience of breast cancer in a world ravaged and reshaped by AIDS. What unites \u003ci\u003eTendencies\u003c\/i\u003e is a vision of a new queer politics and thought that, however demanding and dangerous, can also be intent, inclusive, writerly, physical, and sometimes giddily fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause of the polymorphousness of its disciplinary perversity, Tendencies, \" taken together with Sedgwick's two previous books, virtually defines the new field of queer studies. The opulent availability of an embodied self who also happens to be a brilliant reader marks Sedgwick's effort throughout this volume. It is also what allows one the tutelary space for taking, not only pleasure from her work, but courage from her example.\"--James Creech, author of \"Closet Writing\/Gay Reading\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEve Kosofsky Sedgwick is Distinguished Professor of English, CUNY Graduate Center.
