After the Lovedeath: Sexual Violence and the Making of Culture

Attempts to reinterpret the nature of sexual violence and to imagine the possibility of overcoming it. This book traces today's sexual identities to their nineteenth-century sources, drawing on the music, literature, and thought of the period to show how normal identity both promotes and rationalizes violence against women.
