- Description
- Throughout their lives and afterlives, Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby have been figured as chaste romantic friends, prototypical lesbians, Bluestockings, Romantic domestic archetypes, and proleptically feminist modernists. This book demonstrates that this heterogeneous legacy discloses the queerness of their performatively instantiated identities.
