Closet Writing/Gay Reading - The Case of Melville's Pierre

Summary

Arguing in favour of a retrieval of a repressed, "closeted" gay literary heritage, Creech shows how a literary critic can be receptive to implicit and closeted sexual content, and analyzes what he considers the exemplary novel of the 19th-century closet, Melville's "Pierre; or, The Ambiguities".
