Examines accounts of sapphic relations in eighteenth-century and early nineteenth-century texts, both to show how such stories were used to help consolidate more bourgeois values, and to widen our idea of what kinds of relationships existed between women

Toward a Sapphic History of the British Novel

Dangerous Intimacies

This study challenges the idea that sex between women was unimaginable in British culture before the late 19th century. Author Lisa Moore argues that literary representations of "sapphic" relationships between women were central to 18th-century debates over English national identity and in novels were encoded within wider social concerns regarding race, nation, and colonialist ventures.
