Abstract
Reproductive Urges challenges traditional and Marxist accounts of the oppositional relationship between production and reproduction by focusing on reproduction as one of the most widely used and highly contested concepts in modern culture. Although it appears to refer only to the most obvious of biological facts, Anita Levy contends that reproduction includes a diverse field of cultural and social practices. Levy looks to the writings of Charlotte Lennox, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde, among others, to explain both conceptual changes in notions of reproduction, and the acute anxiety about controlling it still dominant in contemporary debates concerning the individual, the family, and sexuality.
