Queer Nostalgia, Colonialism, and the Girls' Boarding School Novel, 1933-2023

By Chris Roulston

Revisiting and re-evaluating the girls' boarding school novel from an intersectional lens, this book analyses the role a queer aesthetic has played within the context of the boarding school imaginary in British and postcolonial literatures, and asks why the girls' boarding school is a place to which authors consistently return.
