This scholarly work by Bradford K. Mudge delves into the interplay between pornography, gender, and the British novel during the long 18th century. Exploring a period when the novel was emerging as a literary form, Mudge examines how pornographic narratives influenced and shaped the development of the novel, particularly in its portrayal of female sexuality and desire. Drawing on a range of sources, from canonical works by authors like Daniel Defoe and Samuel Richardson to lesser-known erotic texts, Mudge offers a nuanced analysis of the complex relationship between pornography and the novel, shedding light on the social and cultural attitudes toward gender and sexuality during this pivotal era. This copy, in very good condition, is a valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in the history of the novel, gender studies, and the cultural impact of erotic literature.
