About The Apparitional Lesbian
Product Description In essays on literary images of lesbianism from Defoe and Diderot to Virginia Woolf and Djuna Barnes, on the homosexual reputation of Marie Antoinette, on the lesbian writings of Anne Lister, Sylvia Townsend Warner, and Janet Flanner, and on Henry James's The Bostonians, Castle shows how a lesbian presence can be identified in the literature, history, and culture of the past three centuries. Review "Castle covers new ground by challenging Michel Foucault, Lillian Faderman, and other social constructionists who have insisted... that there were no lesbians before 1900.... Her work is always engaging [and] consistently fascinating." -- "New York Times Book Review"
