Title: The seduction narrative in Britain, 1747-1800
First published: 2009
Description: "... Surveys seduction narratives from the late eighteenth century within the context of the new ideal of marriage-for-love and shows how these tales tell varying stories of women's emotional and sexual lives. Drawing on new historicism, feminism, and narrative theory, Binhammer argues that seduction narrative allowed writers to explore different fates for the heroine from the domesticity that became the dominant form in later literature."--Inside cover.
