Book Synopsis
Refuting commonly held beliefs within women's and lesbian history, feminist theory, and histories of the novel, this book challenges the idea that sex between women was unimaginable in British culture before the late nineteenth century. It is of interest to readers engaged in literary and queer theory.

Trade Review
“Engaging and original . . . Dangerous Intimacies makes a singular contribution to lesbian studies, feminist studies, and the history of the novel.”—Beth Kowaleski-Wallace, Boston College
“Moore refers to some of the most important current debates in queer theory—the nature of sexual identity, its history, its roots, and its relation to other factors in identity formations, such as race, class, ethnicity, gender, and national origin. She locates those arguments in persuasive, insightful readings that are refreshingly unhackneyed.”—Sally O’Driscoll, Fairfield University
