"An enjoyable read and an informative survey of Victorian sexual tastes and preoccupations . . . a rigorously balanced account of this complex subject." —Victorian Secrets
An exciting factual romp through sexual desire, practices and deviance in the Victorian era. The Victorian Guide to Sex will reveal advice and ideas on sexuality from the late 19th century. Drawing on both satirical and real-life events from the period, it explores every facet of sexuality that the Victorians encountered.
Reproducing original advertisements and letters, with extracts taken from memoirs, legal cases, newspaper advice columns, and collections held in the Museum of London and the British Museum, this book reveals historical sexual proclivities.
"Riddell's book lifts the veil on historic sexual attitudes to illuminate the secrets of our ancestors' lives. Written with wry humour in a pastiche of Victorian style, the book is both entertaining and highly informative." —Your Family Tree
