Sexual Restraint and Aesthetic Experience in Victorian Literary Decadence

Sexual Restraint and Aesthetic Experience in Victorian Literary ...

Can sexual restraint be good for you? Many Victorians thought so. This book explores a surprisingly positive view of restraint in an unlikely place: late nineteenth-century Decadence. It reads Decadent texts alongside medical manuals, periodicals, and adverts, finding representations of restraint as healthy, productive, and aesthetically enriching.
