Making love : sentiment and sexuality in eighteenth-century British literature / Paul Kelleher.

• Heterosexuality, or, A problem in modern ethics -- Shaftesbury and the beauty of virtue -- Love within reason: Addison and Steele among the mollies -- Love in excess and the ecstasy of sympathy -- Pamela and the passion for virtue -- Tom Jones and the virtues of sexuality.

• Examines how writers of 18th century English sentimental literature came to consider love between a husband and wife to be A (or possibly THE) source for sympathy and benevolence, removing those experiencing it from the self-centeredness of current philosophical and economic theory. Homosexual desire, therefore for these writers came to be considered as a barrier to attaining sympathy, sentiment, and benevolence.
