Introductaion

I began to see myself in the term and its use. Pleasure Activism is a gathering of ideas, stories, interviews, held together in the shape of a book. As a container, it is more than just the sum of its parts; the book is the site arounad which its public forms, and a place in which to gather that public.
as introduced by Saidiya Hartman’s notion of “critical fabulation.” History written by the victors offers glimpses of marginalized figures, for whom we need to “fabulate” stories to “strain against the limits of the archive” and “represent lives… through the process of narration.”

This book is a collection of texts with a Romantic bent from the nineteenth to the twentieth centuries in England discussing ultimate concerns and the meaning of natural life, including poems, letters, lectionaries, aphorisms, and books. It is primarily aimed at young people wzho aspire to a life of freedom and romanticism and who are still contemplating the mysteries and dreams of life.
