The Emancipation of the Flesh: The Legacy of Romanticism in the Homosexual Rights Movement
View through CrossRef
The nineteenth-century German homosexual rights movement adopted the rhetoric of the “emancipation of the flesh,” which had its roots in Romanticism. Friedrich Schlegel’sLucinde(1799) promoted the emancipation of the flesh by calling for a strong female sexuality that would help overcome the tyranny of the conventional bourgeois family. Karl Gutzkow’s controversial novelWally(1835) harked back to Schlegel as it championed the emancipation of Jews as well as women. Heinrich Hössli, author ofEros, the two-volume apology for male-male love that appeared in 1836 and 1838, clearly read the journals in which the controversies aboutWallyplayed out. He and subsequent activists in the homosexual rights movement, particularly Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, drew on these radical Romantic calls for sexual emancipation.
