🐾 Arya's Approval
Right darlings, this Sex and the British is absolutely fascinating! Paul Ferris's exploration of British sexual attitudes is captivating – watching how scandal and sexual behaviour evolved from the Edwardian era through to contemporary times while examining the unique blend of hypocrisy and fascination in British society makes for brilliant reading.
What I love most is how he shows how major events like World War I, the suffragette movement, and the rise of contraception transformed intimate relationships and social attitudes. It's like having a comprehensive guide to British cultural shifts, except with real-life examples that reveal how sexuality and society intersect in the most unexpected ways.
The dust jacket shows minor wear with some fore-edge marks, but the pages and spine are in good condition. Perfect for historians, social studies students, and anyone wanting to understand the fascinating evolution of British culture and attitudes. Brilliant stuff for social history collectors! 💙
