This book explores a significant lacuna in British history. Between
the 1790s and the 1840s, the concept of psychological androgyny or
the unsexed mind emerged as a notion of psychosexual equality,
promoted by a small though influential network of heterodox
radicals on the margins of Rational Dissent. Deeply concerned with
the growing segregation of the sexes, supported seemingly by
arbitrary and increasingly binary models of sexual difference,
heterodox radicals insisted that while the body might be sexed, the
mind was not. They argued that society and the prejudicial
masculinist institutions of patriarchy should be reformed to
accommodate and protect what one radical described as an
'infinitely varied humanity'. In placing the concept of
psychological androgyny centre stage, this book offers a
substantial revision to understandings of progressive debates on
gender in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century in
Britain.
