Content: "The story of nineteenth-century Mormonism told in Make Yourselves Gods is one of dynamism and violence, but also the wild beauty and imaginative power. Peter Coviello follows the Mormons from the period of their earliest emergence as a dissident sect-widely despised as self-governing religious zealots and sex-radicals-to safely enfranchised subjects of the United States. During their exodus to the West, Mormons saw themselves as having less in common with white Protestants than with Native tribes, fellow-refugees from imperial America who also enjoyed social arrangements unstructured by monogamy. They were cast out from Protestant America, defined socially and sexually by their extravagances of belief. in other words, by bad religion. When the Mormons at last renounced polygamy at the end of the nineteenth century-thereby attaining statehood for Utah and becoming enfranchised U.S. subjects-they fell under the protection secularism's "toleration" but also found themselves paying, Coviello argues, the complex wages of racial and sexual normativity. Coviello is the first to tell the story of Mormonism across these several registers, synthesizing archival research with the conceptual tools queer theory, political theology, and Native Studies. The result is a new framework for imagining heterodoxy, citizenship, and sex in secularizing nineteenth-century America"--

Content: Vineland is hardly anyone’s favorite Thomas Pynchon novel. Marking Pynchon’s return after vanishing for nearly two decades following his epic Gravity’s Rainbow, it was initially regarded as slight, a middling curiosity. However, for Peter Coviello, the oft-overlooked Vineland opens up new ways of thinking about Pynchon’s writing and about how we read and how we live in the rough currents of history.Beginning with his early besotted encounters with Vineland, Coviello reads Pynchon’s offbeat novel of sixties insurgents stranded in the Reaganite summer of 1984 as a delirious stoner comedy that is simultaneously a work of heartsick fury and political grief: a portrait of the hard afterlives of failed revolution in a period of stifling reaction. Offering a roving meditation on the uses of criticism and the practice of friendship, the fashioning of publics and counterpublics, the sentence and the police, Coviello argues that Vineland is among the most abundant and far-sighted of late-century American excursions into novelistic possibility. Departing from visions of Pynchon as the arch-postmodernist, erudite and obscure, he discloses an author far more companionable and humane. In Pynchon’s harmonizing of joyousness and outrage, comedy and sorrow, Coviello finds a model for thinking through our catastrophic present.

Content: An curious gem of 19th-century gothic fictionCecil Dreeme is one of the queerest American novels of the 19th century. This edition, which includes a new introduction contextualizing the sexual history of the period and queer longings of the book, brings a rare, almost forgotten, sensational gothic novel set in New York’s West Village back to light. Published posthumously in 1861, the novel centers on Robert Byng, a young man who moves back to New York after traveling abroad and finds himself unmarried and underemployed, adrift in the heathenish dens of lower Manhattan. When he takes up rooms in “Chrysalis College”—a thinly veiled version of the 19th-century New York University building in Washington Square—he quickly finds himself infatuated with a young painter lodging there, named Cecil Dreeme. As their friendship grows and the novel unfolds against the backdrop of the bohemian West Village, Robert confesses that he “loves Cecil with a love passing the love of women.” Yet, there are dark forces at work in the form of the sinister and magnetic Densdeth, a charismatic figure of bad intention, who seeks to ensnare Robert for his own. Full of romantic entanglements, mistaken identity, blackmail, and the dramas of temptation and submission, Cecil Dreeme is a gothic novel at its finest. Poetically written—with flashes of Walt Whitman, Charles Dickens, and Oscar Wilde—Cecil Dreeme is an early example of that rare bird, a queer novel from the 19th century.
