Book description
For too long historians have imposed on the literature a restricted narrative of Victorian attitudes to prostitution. Instead, Attwood argues for a multifaceted, many-layered representation amongst contemporary Victorian observers, demonstrated using political, medical, feminist, literary and pornographic sources. The picture that emerges of Victorian society is complex and fluid, rather than a static stereotype.
Reviews
"'makes an important contribution to ongoing scholarship ... we glean more insight into the often troubling, contradictory attitudes and opinions toward prostitution that continue to this day.'"
