Sexual Restraint and Aesthetic Experience in Victorian Literary Decadence - Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture
Green, Sarah (University of Oxford)
Can sexual restraint be good for you? Many Victorians thought so. This book explores a surprisingly positive view of restraint in an unlikely place: late nineteenth-century Decadence. It reads Decadent texts alongside medical manuals, periodicals, and adverts, finding representations of restraint as healthy, productive, and aesthetically enriching.
