Book synopsis

Italian Sexualities Uncovered, 1789-1914 is a ground-breaking intervention in the historiography of Italy in the long nineteenth century. It brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars who explore nineteenth-century Italian sexualities from a variety of viewpoints, illuminating in particular the relationships between the personal and the political; the presence of male, female and same-sex desires that defy societal norms of respectability and gender roles; the sexual behaviours of different classes and subcultures; and transnational encounters. Each contribution serves to shed light on nineteenth-century men and women as sexual beings, the ways they understood and experienced their sexual desires, and how their sexual behaviour was organised, regulated and constrained.
