Secret sexualities: A sourcebook of 17th and 18th century writing
Secret Sexualities: A Sourcebook of 17th and 18th Century Writing presents a curated collection of historical texts that reveal the hidden, contested, and often censored discourses on sexuality in early modern Europe. Through excerpts of poetry, diaries, court records, medical writings, and philosophical essays, the book uncovers how sexual desire, deviance, and morality were framed within the social, religious, and political contexts of the 1600s and 1700s. The sourcebook highlights diverse expressions of sexuality—including clandestine relationships, non-normative sexual practices, and moral anxieties—while illustrating the tension between public virtue and private transgression. By situating these writings within their historical milieu, the book provides insight into how notions of sexuality were shaped, regulated, and resisted before the emergence of modern sexual identities and discourses.
