"""This collection offers an excellent overview of current concerns and themes in research into love and relationships from the perspectives of literature, cultural studies and activism. It thereby provides readers and scholars with opportunities to follow some of these leads in order to discover further productive entanglements of emotion, intimacy and social structures."" --Michael Gratzke, Professor, Love Research Network, University of Dundee, UK ""So you thought you knew all about love? This bold, provocative volume traverses histories and cultures, troubling dominant constructions of individual and collective intimacies. Its interdisciplinary studies of love transgress borders and rewrite scholarly frontiers."" --F. Fiona Moolla, Associate Professor of English, University of the Western Cape, South Africa ""Stressing the liberatory potential as well as the beleaguered history of intimate relations forged in friendship, by romantic attachments, or through various sexual practices, this volume is both rigorous and gratifyingly sensitive in analyzing the intricate, often baffling and even distressing politics of intimacy from multiple disciplinary perspectives. A volume that is as inspiring as it is indispensable in surveying the history and future of the way we love."" --Maria DiBattista, Professor of English, Princeton University, USA"
