“…In a strategic move for inclusive, queer grammars that centers gender nonconformity, Manion uses they/them pronouns to refer to all female husbands because “‘they’ is a powerful, gender neutral way to refer to someone whose gender is unknown, irrelevant, or beyond classification” (14) 5 . In this same vein, Ledoux (2019) has advocated for methodological tactics that employ “genderqueer” or “gender nonconforming” so as to better attend to 18th‐century representations of gender, sexuality, discursive pronouns, archives, and narrative. While trans, genderqueer, and gender nonconforming identities are not identical—especially using today's parlance—queer and trans theories best approach these representations and embodiments across temporalities.…”

This review essays opens with concerns over “crisis” that have spurred widespread panic about the state and future of the humanities. Crisis, I suggest, is the rallying call for new directions in and reinvention of 18th‐century queer studies. By advocating for recuperative histories wherein crisis is a motivational force that pushes 18th‐century queer studies to be further self‐reflexive and intersectional, I examine three potent trends and their portents for 18th‐century studies: masculinity studies, the nexus of queer and disability studies, and trans studies. I close with a continued call for examinations of queerness and race as they might enlighten the long 18th century. This article ultimately surveys current terrains of 18th‐century queer studies and its commitments to evolve inclusively, dynamically, and unapologetically.
