Description

Women's writing was a crucial part of the history of sexuality in the Romantic period, yet has not often been seen as part of that history.

This collection shows how women writers fit into a tradition of Romanticism that recognizes transgressive sexuality as a defining feature.

Building on recent research on the period's sexual culture, it shows how women writers were theorizing perversions in their literary work and often leading transgressive sexual lives.

In doing so, the collection also challenges current understandings of 'transgression' as a sexual category.
