by Cate Haste
On This Page
Description
Beginning with the Edwardian theorists, like Edward Carpenter and Havelock Ellis, this work tells the history of changing sexual attitudes in twentieth century Britain. It sets private experience against well-known cases - from Lady Chatterley to Profumo, Thorpe and Archer - and against the dictates of the churches, courts and media.Tags
