Women's writing was a crucial part of the history of sexuality in the Romantic period, yet has not often been seen as part of that history. This collection shows how women writers fit into a tradition of Romanticism that recognizes transgressive sexuality as a defining feature. Building on recent research on the period's sexual culture, it shows how women writers were theorizing perversions in their literary work and often leading transgressive sexual lives. In doing so, the collection also challenges current understandings of 'transgression' as a sexual category.

She is volume co-editor of Lumen XLI, co-editor of the collection The Art of Exchange: Models, Forms and Practices of Sociability between Great Britain and France in the Eighteenth Century (Hermann, 2015) and is also completing a SSHRC-funded monograph project Dissenting Sociability, Romantic Politics, and the Aikin Family Legacy. David Sigler is Professor of English at the University of Calgary, with research interests in British Romanticism, gender and sexuality studies, and psychoanalytic theory. He is the author of Fracture Feminism: The Politics of Impossible Time in British Romanticism (SUNY, 2021) and Sexual Enjoyment in British Romanticism (McGill-Queen’s, 2015).
