First sentence: "Seduction" has experienced a resurgence of sorts in recent years among feminist intellectuals interested in the seductions of theory, the seductions of reading, and, less metaphorically, as one law professor proposed, the virtues of seduction law (a relic of presumably repressive Victorianism) as a blueprint for tort-based, sexual fraud legislation.1
