Περίληψη (Συγγραφέα)
“Propriety”, “reserve” and “decency” were signs of civilised behaviour which controlled even “thepassion by which nature unites the two sexes”. Though “naturally the most furious of all the pas-sions, all strong expressions of it are upon every occasion indecent”.3Therefore, the “strong ex-pressions” of libidinal drives were confined to the lower orders of society and to the uncivilised,primitive races. As far as literature was concerned, this “most furious of all passions” was reservedeither for the immoral “continent” as in the gothic novel, or for the profligate, aristocratic villainwhose design was to loot the investments placed upon the virginity of the bourgeois maiden.
