Description
During the last two decades there has been a dramatic resurgence in literary and cultural production by Americans who identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, or queer (LGBTQ). Like many of those who create it, LGBTQ literature has come out of the closet to become an important facet of mainstream American education.

Reviews:
-"This outstanding reference work was written with the reader in mind. The clarity of the style and depth of the scholarship of its approximately 120 scholarly contributors make for accessible reading by academicians and high school students alike. That accessibility is enhanced by two excellent tables of contents. . . Accessibility is further promoted within each clearly formatted entry by distinct bolding for cross-referenced topics and by a thorough index at the end of volume 2. There is a tremendous amount of valuable information to be accessed in the two volumes of the Encyclopedia of Contemporary LGBTQ Literature of the United States. . . . As a whole, this work explores contemporary U.S. LGBTQ literature in its social, political, cultural, and historical contexts. A fine introduction by Marylynne Diggs lays the groundwork for this comprehensive approach, and bibliographies of important secondary sources (at the end of each entry and toward the end of volume two) reinforce it. The Encyclopedia of Contemporary LGBTQ Literature of the United States is indispensible for any excellent reference collection." —ARBAonline
-"Edited by Nelson (English, SUNY Cortland), this two-volume set presents over 300 signed entries authored by over 125 authors, professors, graduate students, librarians, and professionals from across the United States. The articles cover topics of relevance to the field of lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgendered/queer (LGBTQ) literature such as AIDS, seminal texts like Angels in America, and a large number of articles on mainly contemporary authors. ... Bottom Line: Geared toward high school, college, and scholarly research users, this work is free of bias, focusing on LGBTQ topics as equally as the materials enable. Recommended for all academic and high school libraries." —Library Journal
