Book Synopsis
Explores the complex interrelationships among creativity, sexuality, the body, and the mind in eighteenth-century France. This work examines the different forms of deviance ascribed to male and female artists. It also demonstrates that the perceived connections among sexuality, creativity, and disease also opened artistic opportunities for women.

Trade Review
"[Sheriff's] Exceptional Woman and Fragonard are already essential reading for anyone interested in the art and culture of 18th-century Europe, and Moved By Love promises to join those books on the shelves of scholars and students everywhere." - David T. Gies, Virginia Quarterly Review"
