Book Synopsis
At odds with the common image of Jeremy Bentham as a dehumanizing calculator or an eccentric projector, this innovative study shows Bentham at his most intimate, outraged by injustice and desperate for the end of sanctioned, discriminatory violence.

Trade Review
An original, compellingly written investigation into Bentham’s various assaults on the prejudices that animate Western political thought and a remarkably eye-opening argument for rescuing Bentham for contemporary queer and radical critique." - Paul Kelleher, Emory University, author of Making Love: Sentiment and Sexuality in Eighteenth-Century British Literature
