"A thorough examination of the morals and mindset of Georgian Britons towards sex and sexuality . . . well-written, engaging and educational." -Caitlyn Lynch, USA Today-bestselling author
Peek beneath the bedsheets of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain in this affectionate, informative and fascinating look at sex and sexuality during the reigns of Georges I-IV. It examines the prevailing attitudes towards male and female sexual behavior, and the ways in which these attitudes were often determined by those in positions of power and authority. It also explores our ancestors' ingenious, surprising, bizarre and often entertaining solutions to the challenges associated with maintaining a healthy sex life.
Did the people in Georgian Britain live up to their stereotypes when it came to sexual behavior? This book will answer this question, as well as looking at fashion, food, science, art, medicine, magic, literature, love, politics, faith and superstition through a new lens, leaving the reader enlightened and with a new regard for the ingenuity and character of our ancestors.
"This book was funny, at times, and for a slim volume is quite comprehensive ... Good introduction to the period, very easy to read and entertaining." - Rosie Writes .. .
Mike Rendell has written many books, all of them about Georgian England. His interest in the period was inspired by a fascinating cache of papers left by his 18th century ancestors. His other books with Pen & Sword include 'In Bed with the Georgians: Sex, Scandal and Satire in the 18th Century', 'Trailblazing Women of the Georgian Era' and 'Pirates & Privateers in the 18th Century: The Final Flourish'. When not writing, he spends his time talking on Georgian topics both in Britain and abroad, and in particular on board cruise ships. He travels extensively but his home is on the edge of Dartmoor.
