Description
This study illustrates the conflicting values of the Victorian double standard - one is the very image of respectability, the other is represented by an undergrowth in which repressions sought their outlet in depravity and licentiousness. The book gives accounts of sexuality in Victoria's Britain which include: Ruskin and his unconsummated marriage, Swinburne and his predilection for flagellation, the cult of the corset, the fourishing trade in pornography and obscene photographs and orgies that took place under cover at sedate country houses.
