How are romantic and erotic relationships between women represented
in the literature of the long eighteenth century? How does Sapphism
surface in other contemporary discourses, including politics,
pornography, economics and art? After more than a generation of
lesbian-gay scholarship that has examined identities, practices,
prohibitions and transgressions surrounding same-sex desire, this
collection offers an exciting and indispensable array of new
scholarship in gender and sexuality studies. The contributors - who
include noted writers, critics and historians such as Emma
Donoghue, George E. Haggerty, Susan S. Lanser and Valerie Traub -
provide varied and provocative research into the dynamics and
histories of lesbianism and Sapphism. They build on the work of
scholarship on Sapphism and interrogate the efficacy of such a
notion in describing the varieties of same-sex love between women
during the long eighteenth century. This groundbreaking collection,
the first multi-authored volume to examine lesbian representation
and culture in this era, presents a diversity of theoretical and
critical approaches, from close literary analysis to the history of
reading and publishing, psychoanalysis, biography, historicism,
deconstruction and queer theory.
