Description: |
Attwood examines Victorian attitudes to prostitution across a number of sources: medical, literary, pornographic. |
Synopsis: |
For too long historians have imposed on the literature a restricted narrative of Victorian attitudes to prostitution. Instead, Attwood argues for a multifaceted, many-layered representation amongst contemporary Victorian observers, demonstrated using political, medical, feminist, literary and pornographic sources. The picture that emerges of Victorian society is complex and fluid, rather than a static stereotype. |
