'In a series of striking readings, the authors offer an important reinterpretation of contemporary nostalgic texts. The book is an astute work of cultural criticism, one of those that accomplishes a major re-vision of the received wisdom on the subject.' -- Joan W. Scott, Institute for Advanced Study 'Doane and Hodges take on a number of major figures and -- entirely without pretension of cant -- discover fatuities and covertly defensive patriarchal strategies everywhere. I think readers will enjoy this understated audacity and that Nostalgia and Sexual Difference will be read, argued with, and accepted into the lively ongoing conversation which is feminist theory today.' -- Ann Snitow, The New School for Social Research
