The Long Eighteenth Century was the Age of Revolutions, including
the first sexual revolution. In this era, sexual toleration began
and there was a marked increase in the discussion of morality,
extra-marital sex, pornography and same-sex relationships in both
print and visual culture media. William Gibson and Joanne Begiato
here consider the ways in which the Church of England dealt with
sex and sexuality in this period. Despite the backdrop of an
increasingly secularising society, religion continued to play a key
role in politics, family life and wider society and the
eighteenth-century Church was still therefore a considerable force,
especially in questions of morality. This book integrates themes of
gender and sexuality into a broader understanding of the Church of
England in the eighteenth century. It shows that, rather than
distancing itself from sex through diminishing teaching, regulation
and punishment, the Church not only paid attention to it, but its
attitudes to sex and sexuality were at the core of society's
reactions to the first sexual revolution.
