The Amorous Antics Of Old England by Nigel Cawthorne
Once again, Nigel Cawthorne takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the strange, hidden sexual history of England. The history of sex in Britain has been largely glossed over by 'proper' historians: Nigel Cawthorne has burrowed deep into the archives to reveal exactly what our ancestors got up to in bed (and out of it). There are chapters on the ancient arts of seduction, adultery, brothels, 'the English vice', contraception, defloration, and many more - from the torrid Tudors to the supposedly strait-laced Victorians.
Nigel Cawthorne is the author of a number of history titles, including two best-selling books for Portrait, The Strange Laws of Old England, 2004, (0 7499 5036 6) and The Curious Cures of Old England, 2005, (0 7499 5072 2). He lives in London, mainly in the British Library.
