About this book

Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, this volume explores nineteenth-century Italian sexualities from a variety of viewpoints, illuminating in particular personal and political relationships, same-sex desires, gender roles that defy societal norms, sexual behaviours of different classes and transnational encounters.

Reviews

“Italian Sexualities Uncovered presents a series of innovative essays on both hetero- and homosexuality among women and men during the long nineteenth century. … Babini, Beccalossi, and Riall are to be commended for putting together such a rich and varied collection of essays. … As a pioneering model for subsequent research, Italian Sexualities Uncovered constitutes an essential step toward the incorporation of sexuality into the larger narrative of modern Italian history.” (Mary Gibson, Modern Italy, Vol. 21 (2), May, 2016)
