Volcanoes and Pearl Divers
Essays in Lesbian Feminist Studies
Suzanne Raitt
Volcanoes and Pearl Divers is a vibrant anthology of UK-based essays about English language lesbian writers from the 17th century to the present, including analysis of lesbian film and theater. Literary criticism here includes hard-to-find authors, as well as new perspectives on well-known lesbian writers. The contributing authors vary in their approach, their background and their interests, but all celebrate lesbian culture, past and present. Volcanoes and Pearl Divers is about what lesbian feminists find when they go diving for the pearls of their own lost culture and about the mourning, but also the triumph, of that process of recovery. This collection offers an image of the search for, and the eruption of, lesbian-feminists’desire, anger, and love.
