Todd C. Parker

4.9/5 (33909 ratings)

Description:An important contribution to the study of the history of sexuality, this book examines the emergence of a new kind of heterosexual rhetoric in the early eighteenth century, a rhetoric that ultimately displaced earlier and more diverse expressions of sexuality and the body. Drawing on traditional scholarly methods as well recent queer-theoretical perspectives, the book traces the rise of the modern paradigm of compulsory heterosexuality, and counters certain feminist assumptions about the nature of masculinity and male character during the period. Throughout, Parker offers intriguing readings of a variety of texts, including the fiercely homophobic pamphlet Onania; or the Heinous Sin of Self-Pollution, Jonathan Swift s political satires on William Wood and Richard Tighe, Alexander Pope s poems To Cobham and To a Lady, Eliza Haywood s romance novel Philidore and Placentia, and John Cleland s pornographic novel Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
