First published in 2002. This book surveys how and to what effect
Shelley uses erotic narratives to mask political rhetoric within
his attempts to describe and bring forth utopia. Posing erotic
relationships as both an exemplar of the inequities of power and a
paradigm for alternative social orders that dismantle oppressive
structures, it argues Shelley's work imagines a space where the
rigidity of tyranny succumbs to the liberation of ecstatic union.
From the Romantics to the Aesthetes, it argues that this model
contributed to a counter-tradition in British literature which
situates the erotic as a trope for political discourse. This work
will be of interest to students of literature.
