Reader's Guide to Lesbian and Gay StudiesTimothy F. Murphy Publisher description: The aim of the Reader's Guides is to provide guidance to the secondary material in specific intellectual disciplines by means of essays that analyze, interpret, and evaluate that material--providing the student, teacher, researcher, and librarian with informed recommendations for further reading. The Reader's Guide to Lesbian and Gay Studies surveys the field in some 470 entries on individuals (Adrienne Rich); arts and cultural studies (Dance); ethics, religion, and philosophical issues (Monastic Traditions); historical figures, periods, and ideas (Germany between the World Wars); language, literature, and communication (British Drama); law and politics (Child Custody); medicine and biological sciences (Health and Illness); and psychology, social sciences, and education (Kinsey Report). Among the numerous reference books in the area of gay-lesbian-queer studies, there is none that is planned and structured along the same lines as this volume, as a critical and explanatory guide to the wide range of literature available on these topics. An international team of some 200 scholars has contributed to this much-needed guide. |
