Epistemology of the Closet
Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick
Since the late 1980s, queer studies and theory have become vital to the
intellectual and political life of the United States. This has been due,
in no small degree, to the influence of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's
critically acclaimed Epistemology of the Closet. Working from
classic texts of European and American writers—including Melville,
James, Nietzsche, Proust, and Wilde—Sedgwick analyzes a
turn-of-the-century historical moment in which sexual orientation became
as important a demarcation of personhood as gender had been for
centuries. In her preface to this updated edition Sedgwick places the
book both personally and historically, looking specifically at the
horror of the first wave of the AIDS epidemic and its influence on the
text.
