Q19: The Queer American Nineteenth Century

Queer is a good nineteenth-century American word, appearing almost everywhere in the literature of the time.

Q19: The Queer American Nineteenth Century makes available again a set of literary texts from the long American nineteenth century in which the queer appears in all its complex range of meanings.
