Deviant Modernism - Lamos, Colleen (Rice University, Houston)

Colleen Lamos re-evaluates central texts of the modernist canon by T. S. Eliot, James Joyce and Marcel Proust, examining sexual energies and identifications in them that are typically regarded as perverse. She offers a stimulating reconsideration of modernist literature, gender categories and the relation between errant sexuality and literary 'mistakes'.
