Violet Fenn’s latest book, Sex and Sexuality in Victorian Britain, is now available from publishers Pen & Sword Books. Violet is a well-known industry journalist – and regular contributor to ETO – and this new title is described by the publishers as, “An affectionate, informative and fascinating look at sex and sexuality during the reign of Queen Victoria” which “demonstrates how attitudes to male and female sexual behaviour were often determined by those in positions of power and authority”.
The book also explores how our ancestors maintained a healthy sex life, given the challenges of the times, as well as looking at fashion, food, science, art, medicine, magic, literature, love, politics, faith and superstition through a new lens. The hardback title has a suggested retail price of £19.99.
