Through close readings of the gloving scenes in William Hogarth's A Harlot's Progress (1732), Samuel Richardson's Clarissa (1747–48), and Laurence Sterne's A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy (1768), this essay argues that eighteenth-century fictions promoted the erotic fetishization and feminization of gloves. Through a conjoined analysis of real-life and fictional gloving practices, this article demonstrates how the fetish emerged as not only a problem about the relationship of subjects to objects, but also a problem about the social value of the sense of touch in the eighteenth century. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Eighteenth Century Fiction is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
