Sex and the British: A Twentieth-Century History | Paul Ferris

Sex and the British: A Twentieth-Century History

A revealing social history of how British attitudes to sex, scandal, and intimacy shifted across the twentieth century.

Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Some are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and a serious collector of films and books that had something to say. This is one of those pieces.

This book looks at the gap between what Britain said in public and what it did in private, and how that changed across a century shaped by war, social reform, new freedoms, and shifting ideas about relationships and identity.

It is cultural history with real bite: scandal, hypocrisy, social change, and the slow unpicking of proper behaviour. If you like social history and the way culture evolves behind closed doors, this is a fascinating read.
