This is the first book to explore how lesbians and gay men use history to define themselves as social, cultural, and political subjects. Analyses of historiography, ancient Greece, Stonewall, and postmodern historical texts show how historical representations inform and reflect queer subjectivity.
In Queer Fictions of the Past, Scott Bravmann explores the complexity of lesbian and gay engagement with history and considers how historical discourses animate the present. Characterising historical representations as dynamic conversations between then and now, he demonstrates their powerful role in constructing present identities, differences, politics, and communities. In particular, his is the first book to explore the ways in which lesbians and gay men have used history to define themselves as social, cultural, and political subjects.
