Description
She looks at instances of sapphism in such novels as Millenium Hall, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, Belinda, and Emma and analyzes how the new literary form of the novel made the bourgeois heroine?s successful negotiation of female friendship central to the establishment of her virtue. In revealing the struggle over sapphism at the heart of these novels of female friendship?and at the heart of England?s national identity?Moore shows how feminine sexual agency emerged as an important cultural force in post-Enlightenment England (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
