The 19th century saw intense urbanization, the development of a
consumer culture, the formalization of gender roles, the
solidification of class structures, and various encounters with the
exotic customs of the colonies - all of which contributed to
enhance sexual anxiety among the middle classes. In response, new
social conventions, sanitary prescriptions, practices of
self-control, and policies of sex regulation and education were
developed as a means to control disorderly sexual behavior. At the
same time, though an ideology based on sexual respectability was
largely promoted throughout society, significant individuals and
subcultures often challenged both the principle and the practice of
such morality. A Cultural History of Sexuality in the Age of Empire
presents an overview of the period with essays on heterosexuality,
homosexuality, sexual variations, religious and legal issues,
health concerns, popular beliefs about sexuality, prostitution and
erotica.
