Still Loitering Australian Essays in Honour of Ross Chambers

«This excellent collection engages with some of the major themes of Ross Chambers’s scholarly work, which spanned French studies, comparative literature, cultural studies, queer studies, and literary and narrative theory. By doing so, it is not just a fitting intellectual tribute to an inspiring colleague but serves as a useful introduction to his work.» (Brian Nelson, Monash University, Melbourne)

«In life and in death, Ross Chambers became a touchstone for many humanities scholars – on both sides of the Pacific. He had the kinds of abilities that could have made him an imperious intellectual authority, together with an extraordinary generosity, openness, and oppositional ethos that made him an ideal or inspiration to many a scholar and student [...]. Those to whom his work matters most, such as the authors of this collection, feel themselves summoned by it to what they consider best in their own intellectual calling and their profession – to forms of reading, teaching, and publication that combine critical sophistication and ethical commitment. These essays thus constitute a kind of collective self-portrait of the literary humanities [...].» (William Paulson,
