Erin G. Carlston believes such figures and themes were critical to exploring citizenship and its limits, requirements, and possibilities in the modern Western state. Through close readings of Proust's novels, Auden's poetry, and Kushner's play Angels in America, which all reference real-life espionage cases involving Jews, homosexuals, or Communists, Carlston connects gay men's fascination with spying into larger debates about the making and contestation of social identity. Incorporating readings of nonliterary cultural artifacts, such as trial transcripts, into her analysis, Carlston pinpoints moments when national self-conceptions in France, England, and the United States grew unstable, linking the twentieth-century tensions around citizenship to the social and political concerns of three generations of influential writers. -- Book Jacket 650 0 $a Literature and society. 650 0 $a Treason in literature. 650 0 $a Espionage $x History. 650 0 $a Liminality in literature. 650 0 $a Homosexuality and literature. 650 0 $a Jews in literature. 650 0 $a Communists in literature. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180103062504.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826072449.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FA0E199A6B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
