Capital Affairs by Frank Mort
Did Britain's permissive society start with swinging London? This title challenges the sexual myth of the 1960s, arguing that its roots lay further back in the city's dramatic cultures of austerity and affluence that marked the post-war years. It focuses on sex and urban culture through a series of historical narratives.
"Mort’s attention to detail and storytelling skills makes this a compelling and brilliant cultural and sexual history"—Julie Anne Taddeo, Journal of British Studies -- Julie Anne Taddeo * Journal of British Studies *
