Out Takes
“Foundlings is a first-rate, innovative, and unprecedented work that will take the literary world by stormChristopher Nealon proves himself here to be the very best of a new generation of queer theorists.”—Judith Butler
“Foundlings provides a new paradigm for thinking historically and theoretically about the longing for history within gay and lesbian texts. This is not just a stunning addition to queer historiography but also a challenge to the historicist turn in literary and cultural criticism.”—Bill Brown, author of The Material Unconscious: American Amusement, Stephen Crane, and the Economies of Play
