Rene C. Hoogland is Lecturer in Lesbian Studies/Comparative Literature at the University of Amsterdam. She has published articles on feminist/lesbian theory, postmodernism, women's and lesbian literature, and Hollywood cinema. She is now working on a book about sexual ambivalences in British and American cultural texts of the early 1960s.

"Lively and topical. Firmly anchored in contemporary theory, Hoogland's analyses are witty and original, stylishly written and convincing. She confirms what one always suspected about adolescence, agency and identity in Bowen's heroines, and places Elizabeth Bowen in a startling context which is bound to bring her a whole new generation of attentive readers." - Jane Marcus,CUNY Graduate Center
