What is Transits: Literature, Thought and Culture, 1650-1850: Excitable Imaginations: Eroticism and Reading in Britain, 1660-1760 about?
Excitable Imaginations offers a new approach to the history of pornography. Looking beyond a counter-canon of bawdy literature, Kathleen Lubey identifies a vigilant attentiveness to sex across a wide spectrum of literary and philosophical texts in eighteenth-century Britain. Esteemed public modes of writing such as nationalist poetry, moral fiction, and empirical philosophy, as well as scandalous and obscene writing, persistently narrate erotic experiences--desire, voyeurism, seduction, orgasm.
