Reviews for Claustrophilia
'...this is an engaging, provocative work, in which some dazzling and eclectic readings come together in a riot of queer bodies, spaces and associations, exploring the medieval canon from a fascinating angle and inviting academics to reflect on their own place and attachments.' - Miranda Griffin, French Studies ' ...radient, entrancing... a scholary review.'
