Sexuality and the Culture of Sensibility in

Drawing together theoretically informed literary history and the cultural history of sexuality, friendship, and affective relations, thisis the first study to trace fully the influence of this notorious yet often undervalued cultural tradition on British Romanticism, a movement that both draws on and resists Sensibility's excessive embodiments of non-normative pleasure. Offering a broad consideration of literary genres while balancing the contributions of both canonical and non-canonical male and female writers, this bold new study insists on the need to revise the traditional boundaries of literary periods and establishes unexpected influences on both Romantic and early Victorian culture and their shared pleasures of attachment.

Christopher C. Nagle is Assistant Professor of English at Western Michigan University, where he teaches courses in eighteenth and nineteenth-century British and Irish literature as well as critical theory and gender studies. His previous work has appeared in English Literary History, Persuasions: The Jane Austen Journal, and Comparative Drama.
