Description

Explore a new perspective on Romantic poetry with Keats, Modesty and Masturbation by Rachel Schulkins. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work examines how John Keats reworked the romance genre to challenge the social standards of the early nineteenth century. Schulkins provides a detailed analysis of how Keats responded to the era's strict ideals regarding feminine modesty and asexual femininity. Through close readings of major poems including Isabella; or the Pot of Basil, The Eve of St. Agnes, Lamia, and 'La Belle Dame sans Merci,' this book offers a fresh re-evaluation of Keats's body of work. The text demonstrates how his specific use of sexual imagery serves as a counter to conservative morality. By encoding taboo desires and the pleasures of masturbation, Keats presents a unique version of female sexuality that challenges the status quo of his time. This book is an essential resource for students and academics interested in literary theory, Romanticism, and the history of gender and sexuality in English literature. It provides a deep look into how poetic language can navigate and subvert the cultural constraints of its period.
