Invisible Relations by Elizabeth S Wahl
This book explores how representations of intimacy between women included both a sexualized model of the lesbian tribade and an idealized model that portrayed female friendship as devoid of sexual expression.
"The work's merits. . .lie in its meticulous research, judicious criticism and lucid analysis. This is a worthy contribution to the history of female-female relations." -- British Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies
" Invisible Relations breaks important new ground in the study . . . of female intimacy and homoeroticism. . . . An insightful, intelligent book that will challenge how scholars have traditionally perceived female intimacy and female communities in the Enlightenment." -- Choice
"A work of impressive scholarship. . . . of solid value in presenting new material to scholars of the history of sexuality and in cultural studies. Written in a precise yet accessible style, the book is a pleasure to read." -- Modern Philology
