摘要

珍妮斯·尼曼（Janice Niemann），《夏屋性爱：以维多利亚时代的色情为背景》（Sex in the Summer House：Setting in Victorian Pornography）（第42-69页）。丽莎·西格尔（Lisa Sigel）呼吁采取行动，即“19世纪色情作品中的特定主题值得更深入地研究”，并回应了之前认为维多利亚时代色情作品中背景在很大程度上无关紧要的学者的观点，我认为某些背景在维多利亚时代的色情作品中具有重大的文学影响。在三部维多利亚时代的色情作品中——《欲望的浪漫》（1873-76）、《印度的维纳斯》（1889）和《年轻女孩的可爱之夜》（约1895）——我将避暑别墅作为一个测试案例，调查了避暑别墅中的特定性时刻，认为避暑别墅环境的局限性有助于角色行为和类型表演被推向自己的极限。最终，我认为文学避暑山庄是维多利亚时代色情作品中一个可识别的比喻，它要求我们重新审视特定背景对该类型的影响。注：本文讨论未成年性行为、乱伦和强奸。

Sex in the Summer-House

Janice Niemann, “Sex in the Summer-House: Setting in Victorian Pornography” (pp. 42–69) Despite scholarship on the history and publication of pornography, on laws surrounding Victorian pornography, and on pornography’s mutually informative relationship with nineteenth-century medical texts, actual Victorian pornographic texts remain relatively understudied. Taking up Lisa Sigel’s call to action that specific “motifs in nineteenth-century pornography deserve closer study,” and responding to previous scholars who have identified setting in Victorian pornography as largely inconsequential, I suggest that certain settings have significant literary impacts in Victorian pornography. Adopting the summer-house as a test case in three Victorian pornographic texts—The Romance of Lust (1873–76), Venus in India (1889), and Lovely Nights of Young Girls (c. 1895)—I investigate specific moments of sex in the summer-house, arguing that the liminality of summer-house settings facilitates character behavior and genre performance being pushed to their own liminal boundaries. Ultimately, I posit that the literary summer-house is a recognizable trope in Victorian pornography, and one that asks us to reexamine the impact of specific settings in the genre. Note: this paper discusses underage sex, incest, and rape.
