Sent: 19 November 2009 11:38 Subject: New Publication Since list members (including myself) have requested referrals to new books which might be of interest, may I offer the new Palgrave edition: Julie Peakman (ed.), Sexual Perversions, 1670-1890 Price: £55.00 Quantity:ISBN: 9780230555105 A sample chapter free of charge can be downloaded at: http://www.palgrave.com/PRODUCTS/title.aspx?PID=280774 OUTLINE In a series of original essays, Sexual Perversions attempts to open a debate - to begin an exploration into the history of the many sexual activities considered outside the realm of normal behaviour. For the first time in an examination of this period, such diverse subject matter as necrophilia, paedophilia, cross-dressing, religious perversion, foot fetishism and rape, will be brought together. The book covers religion, culture and literature in history and introduces new scholars working in the arena of the history of sexuality. It involves an analytical appraisal of documentation including plays, poems, erotica, trial records, pamphlets, sermons, and travelogues,in a multi-disciplinary approach. CONTENTS: a..
