Encompassing the long 18th century, Amatory Pleasures examines a
broad and enticing variety of topics in the history of sexuality in
Georgian times. It includes discussion of sexual perversion,
criminal conversation, erotic gardens, gentlemen's homosocial
societies, flagellation, pornography, writings of courtesans and
the world of female friendship, revealing the secret or hidden
meanings circulating between mainstream and covert activities of
the 18th century. Julie Peakman draws connections between these
pieces and situates them within current debates and examines how
Georgian sexual activity was integrated from low life and high
places, from brothels to palaces. Aimed at anyone interested in
gender, history of sexuality, sex, literature and 18th-century
history, Amatory Pleasures is an invaluable collection of the work
of a key scholar in the field.
