"Outstanding comparison of fear-based sexual repression/oppression in fin de siecle and contemporary culture. At times it resembles a readable version of Faludi's Backlash. The book is nearly 20 years old but didn't seem dated. One of the very few books I've read that attempts to compare the end of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and does it well."
"Absolutely loved this book! The title is a bit odd, but it's about the end of the 19th century and the struggle between men and women writers. I would recommend it to anyone!"
"Another book I plan to keep on my coffee table when I become a pastor, just to keep people on their toes. Actually, this book is a really incisive look at English attitudes towards sex, the body, gender, and sexuality at the end of the 19th century. Really, really interesting, and also shockingly similar to the debates and concerns fanned into fire by politicians and hype-obsessed religious-folk in the 20th/21st century as well. Just goes to show that sex and the body are societal fears that never die, no matter how much we seem to "progress.""
