Imagining Sex

Pornography and Bodies in Seventeenth-Century England

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Imagining Sex examines a variety of material from seventeenth-century England to argue that, unlike today, pornography was not a discrete genre, nor was it usually subject to suppression. Analysing representations of sex and eroticism in historical context, the book explores contemporary thinking on these issues and wider cultural concerns.
