Sexual Freedom in Restoration Literature

by Warren Chernaik

Sexual Freedom in Restoration Literature Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The pursuit of sexual freedom and its political, philosophical and practical implications are the themes of this wide-ranging new study of seventeenth-century literature. The author examines the writers of the later seventeenth century in their historical context, and focuses particularly on what happens when women, as well as men, desire sexual freedom. In a study of the writings of the Earl of Rochester, notorious for their sexual candor, and of Aphra Behn, most controversial woman of her day, the author explores the tensions inherent in the ideology of individual liberty in the conduct of sexual relations inside and outside marriage.

Synopsis:

Sexual freedom and ideology explored in the works of seventeenth-century English literature.
