Instructor: [Stephanie Burt](https://english.fas.harvard.edu/people/stephanie-burt)  
Wednesday, 3:00 - 5:45 pm | Location: TBD  
*Enrollment: Limited to 15 students*

Queer, trans, genderfluid, lesbian, gay, bi, pan and ace or aro authors and creators who made their gender and sexuality important to their writings, with a mix of the obviously influential (Wilde; Bechdel), the precursors (Katherine Philiips), and others worth hearing and re-reading (Danez Smith; David Bowie; Patrick White). We will read critics and theorists who can tell us about the history of sex and gender, but our focus will remain on the artists-- poets, novelists, memoirists, songwriters, comics creators, and others-- and on their works of art.
