Queer Velocities makes significant contributions to multiple fields, first and foremost to early modern theater studies, but also and no less significantly to queer studies and to queer temporality studies. Jennifer Row displays brilliant theoretical creativity grounded in rigorous historical erudition. --Lewis Seifert, author of Manning the Margins: Masculinity and Writing in Seventeenth-Century France It turns out that our understanding of the anti-normativity of queer time reflects twenty-first century assumptions about how time functions. With Queer Velocities, Row takes us back in time to early modern France when queer velocities operated as part of a temporal regime not yet solidified. In so doing, she contextualizes queer time through classical French tragedy as she brings out the temporal queerness of the early modern. --Todd W. Reeser, author of Setting Plato Straight: Translating Ancient Sexuality in the Renaissance
