Bridging periods often kept apart, Libertines and Radicals analyses English sexual culture between the Civil Wars and the death of Charles II in great detail. James Grantham Turner examines a broad range of Civil War and Restoration texts, from sex-crime records to Milton's epics and Rochester's 'mannerly obscene' lyrics. Turner places special emphasis on women's writing and on pornographic texts like The Wandering Whore and The Parliament of Women, flavoured with cockney humour or 'Puritan' indignation. Throughout, Turner reads satirical texts, whether political or pornographic, as an attempt to neutralize women's efforts to establish their own institutions and their own voice. This exhaustive study will be of interest to cultural historians as well as literary scholars.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 236mmItem Length: 159mmItem Width: 24mmItem Weight: 635gAuthor: James Grantham TurnerGenre: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2001 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
