Reviews

Castle's work on sexuality and gender has helped make feminist and queer intellectual projects acceptable. -Signs The truth is outrageous: that's a principle Terry Castle has proved. She is as sound as she is scandalous. Any educated person can read her essays with profit and pleasure-and with a jaw that is permanently dropped. -Edmund White on Castle's Boss Ladies, Watch Out! Brave, learned, sassy, wildly funny, Terry Castle knows heaps about people (and lives) as well as about literature in English. Her writing is full of feeling and wisdom. She's not only our best Female Literary Critic and One Wise Babe. She's the most expressive, most enlightening literary critic at large today. -Susan Sontag
