Ben Bascom: Feeling Singular, Gebunden

Klappentext

Feeling Singular reconceives the Early Republic period of the United States by presenting the forgotten and queer stories of a series of marginal, even eccentric figures in the republican United States. Through closely reading a range of texts--from manuscripts to hastily printed books, and from phonetically spelled pamphlets to sexually explicit broadsides--Bascom uses the language of queer studies to understand what made someone singular in the early United States and how that singularity points at the ruptures in social codes that get normalized through historical analysis.
