Seeing Together: Friendship Between the Sexes in English Writing from Mill to Woolf

Following the vicissitudes of friendship between the sexes in some of England's key writers, the author traces a history of idioms for today's friendships-their vulnerability, limits, and potential for change.

Friendship between the sexes is notoriously difficult to describe. Seeing Together examines the efforts of some of England's key writers - from poets to propagandists - during a period when 'mere friendship' came to seem intensely important and when discussion of professional relations between men and women came to touch upon a troubling network of sexual, social and political dynamics. Among the authors discussed are John Stuart Mill, Robert Browning, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, Henry James, Joseph Conrad, D. H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf.
