This is a great book! Developing queer monumentality as a critical lens, Dunn expertly analyzes a fascinating array of memory practices: bronze statuary, public discourse, school textbooks, and contemporary gravescapes. Queerly Remembered powerfully elucidates the promise and the peril of crafting a politically salient, life-affirming, and perdurable GLBTQ past. --Angela G. Ray, Northwestern University

In this carefully researched and engagingly written project, Thomas Dunn shows us that queer memory comes in many rhetorical forms. He invites us both to recognize the increasing cultural value of what he compellingly terms queer monumentality even as he urges us to question and improve it. Dunn s book will be immensely valuable to scholars and students of rhetoric, GLBTQ studies, and public memory alike. Cara Anne Finnegan, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
