| description | This article addresses the issue of context in a queer analysis of historical novels. Three historical levels intertwine in a contemporary analysis of historical novels written prior to the advent of queer activism and theory, i.e. the recreated period, the context of the author and that of the analyst. The genealogical approach of queer studies postulates contextualization, but does not specify which of these contexts should be considered most significant for a queer analysis. The article explores three novels by Marguerite Yourcenar: Alexis ou le Traité du vain combat [Alexis], Mémoires d’Hadrien [Memoirs of Hadrian] and L’Œuvre au noir [The Abyss] and demonstrates the importance of considering all three contexts for identifying the specific ways in which the theme of sexuality is treated in those texts. |
