16 May 2022: One of the most delightful sentences I've come across while working on this book: “I wish to argue that contradictions are an inevitable element of Sedgwick’s project and that one cannot separate
Hope Leslie from
Hopeless-ly” (Fetterley 501). All these years that I've known and studied Sedgwick's book and I only today realized that there's a pun sitting right there.
