Queer Dickens: Erotics, Families, Masculinities
Furneaux, Holly (Lecturer in Victorian Studies, University of Leicester)
This book offers a radically new reading of Dickens. It argues that, rather than representing a largely conventional, conservative view of sexuality and gender, his corpus is distinctly queer, displaying a fascination with the diversity of gender roles, the expandability of notions of the family, and the multiplicity of sexual desire.
