Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

In this fascinating, thought-provoking anthology, a variety of authors encourage us to “rethink the meaning of transgression” through the lenses of aesthetics, feminist and queer theories, disability studies, and exemplary close readings of women’s writing. [...] Together, all these essays work to interrogate the notion of transgression as it relates to gender. Whether it is through objects, idealized, utopian spaces, self-pleasure, narrative strategies, trans identities, or disruptive normative ideals, these essays invite us to consider not only how female/non-binary writers transgress social norms but, perhaps more importantly, what alternatives they envision.
