The book explores the evolution of intimacy as a concept, pinpointing the nineteenth century as a pivotal era for its emergence in language and thought. By examining various literary and non-literary sources, the author argues for a historical perspective on intimacy, highlighting its significance in the reading and writing practices of that time. This analysis challenges traditional views by situating intimacy within a specific historical context rather than treating it as a timeless aspect of human relationships.
