The literary virgin is eighteenth-century England's most enduring
and unlikely celebrity. Despite her ignominious association with
Catholicism and her incorrigibility with respect to the methods of
the new science, the virgin emerges, by the middle of the
eighteenth century, as the triumphant heroine of sentimental
fiction as well as a muse for both satire and pornography. This
book explores how and why the virgin turns out to be such a highly
contested character at the center of many enlightenment debates. By
focusing on the figure and fate of the virgin, the book offers new
arguments about the relationship of novelist epistemologies to
other modes of knowing, about the significance of virginity to
patriarchy, and about the feminization of the novel.
