"[Luciano] offers astute readings of 'chronobiopolitics' . . . and argues persuasively for the importance of temporality in an expanded study of the history of sexuality." -"American Literature", "A tour de force of literary-historical scholarship, blending close reading and a broad grasp of nineteenth-century American culture to produce a truly illuminating account of what Luciano calls that culture's attachment to attachment. Tracking the manifold uses to which grief was put in the period, from the most public to the most interior, Luciano makes it possible for the reader to understand the way that grief shapes bodies by shaping time. Arranging Grief will be indispensable reading for scholars of emotion, sexuality, temporality, and the history of national imaginaries."br>-Christopher Nealon, author of "Foundlings: Lesbian and Gay Historical Emotion before Stonewall" "An astounding, original, aesthetically profound rethinking of the productive temporalities of loss. A must-read book for any scholar of aesthetics, American literature, sexuality--or any wanderer in the field of mourning." -Lauren Berlant, University of Chicago "This is a challenging, far-reaching, and original contribution to the analysis of American culture. . . . Recommended." -"Choice",
