(Sem)Erotics. Theorizing Lesbian: Writing

What is at stake in the production of experimental texts by lesbian writers? what motivates these writers and characterizes their work? In this work, Elizabeth Meese examines the ways in which the experiences of the text, and the experiences of character, diverge and converge with the writer’s own biography—through studies of the work of Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West, Djuna Barnes, Gertrude Stein, and others.
