Description

Book Synopsis
Complicating our understanding of Victorian marriage ideology's more well-trodden focus on a productive, nation-building ideal, Exquisite Masochism offers fascinating insight into our own culture's debates around illicit sexuality, marriage, reproduction, and feminism.

Trade Review
Jarvis opens new avenues of criticism to work that is often oversimplified. Highly recommended. Choice ... an engaging cultural study, with applications wider than nineteenth-century literature. Times Literary Supplement
