The Seduction Narrative in Britain, 1747–1800
by Katherine BinhammerEighteenth-century literature displays a fascination with the seduction of a virtuous young heroine, most famously illustrated by Samuel Richardson's Clarissa and repeated in 1790s radical women's novels, in the many memoirs by fictional or real penitent prostitutes, and in street print. Across fiction, ballads, essays and miscellanies, stories were told of women's mistaken belief in their lovers' vows. Katherine Binhammer surveys seduction narratives from the late eighteenth century within the context of the new ideal of marriage-for-love and shows how these tales tell varying stories of women's emotional and sexual lives. Drawing on new historicism, feminism, and narrative theory, Binhammer argues that the seduction narrative allowed writers to explore different fates for the heroine than the domesticity that became the dominant form in later literature. This study will appeal to scholars of eighteenth-century literature, social and cultural history, and women's and gender studies.

Book 1 - The Seduction Vow Book 2 - The Temporary Promise Book 3 - The Matchmaking Pact Book 4 - The New Leaf Pledge Book 5 - The Wedding Affirmation Excerpt: Graci pulled against Mike's grip. She overestimated how lightly he was holding her and staggered when he immediately let go. Her head was spinning from the vodka, and her balance sucked. She careened into a person standing behind her and might have fallen if a hand hadn't reached out to steady her. "Whoa. Look out there. You okay?" "Yes. I'm f-fine," she stammered and, oh great, now the tears had arrived like an unwelcome rainstorm. They choked her voice and trickled down her cheeks. She looked up at the guy holding her arm and into the bluest pair of eyes she'd ever seen. His forehead puckered as he looked back and forth between Graci and Mike. "This guy bothering you?" "Hey!" Mike said. "No. It's nothing like that," Graci said. "He didn't do anything. It's me." Those eyes were really blue. Unreal blue, like some actor whose name she couldn't think of right now. For a moment, she was so drunk and confused all she could do was stare into those mesmerizing eyes and wonder if he wore tinted contacts or something. "Forget this." Mike's voice came from somewhere behind her, but it was already far away. Distant. The blue-eyed man's frown smoothed, and he smiled. "Sure you're okay? You don't look so good." She sniffed and wiped her damp cheeks. "I'm fine. I just...haven't drunk in a while and I... Oh." Suddenly, the pleasant swirly feeling inside her turned into churning. Her stomach somersaulted and her ears rang. She was going to puke right there in the middle of a crowded club. She clapped a hand over her mouth. The man didn't ask again if she felt all right. He took a firmer hold of her arm and dragged her through the throng toward the restroom.
