Books by Terry Castle

In essays on literary images of lesbianism from Defoe and Diderot to Virginia Woolf and Djuna Barnes, on the homosexual reputation of Marie Antoinette, on the lesbian writings of Anne Lister, Sylvia Townsend Warner, and Janet Flanner, and on Henry James's The Bostonians, Castle shows how a lesbian presence can be identified in the literature, history, and culture of the past three centuries.

A literary exploration of the friendship between Noel Coward and Radclyffe Hall, this book sheds light on the relationship between gay men and lesbian women in the first half of 20th century Europe.

Boss Ladies Watch Out! is about women as critics. The brilliant literary essayist Terry Castle writes with an intelligence and style that brings her subject to light and to task.
