Description

This scholarly volume explores how eighteenth-century writers engaged with sexuality and mortality through Gothic novels and literary innovation. The book assembles diverse critical perspectives to examine the era's transformation in attitudes toward death, revealing the intricate ways literature merged sexual themes with mortality anxieties. By synthesising historical context with textual analysis, the work charts an emerging modern sensibility about both sexuality and death during a pivotal period in literary history. It contributes essential scholarship to an expanding academic field, offering fresh interpretations of how the century navigated changing relationships between the body, desire, and finitude. Perfect for scholars of eighteenth-century literature, Gothic studies, and the history of ideas.
