Queer History Club: Queer Pronouns in Literary History – Talk and Quiz
Join Dr Lena Mattheis, expert in the history of gender-nonconforming pronouns, for a talk and a quiz about pronouns in queer and trans literature!
Did you know that singular you is a more recent addition to the English language than singular they? We can trace back singular they to the 1300s but singular you only replaced thou and thee in the 17th century. This is only one of many surprising facts that literary history can teach us about gender-inclusive pronouns. Where current debates about language policies might have us believe that pronouns that challenge the gender binary are strictly a 21st-century issue, celebrated authors from Margaret Cavendish to Aphra Behn to Virginia Woolf show us that gender non-conformity pronouns have not just been in use for centuries, but are also beautiful enough to have made it into some of the most celebrated novels and poems in English.
