  • Summary

  • The publication of a novel featuring a (then) little known female sexual practice seemed, to the establishment, to offer a threat to British life itself. The banning of the book was the centre of a cause celebre over censorship and freedom of expression in this early period of what we now call ‘culture wars’.

Profile Image for Taylor A.

Why so much PC / sexual content?

The first one of these podcasts was ok “Victorian”. But “Edwardian” and this one just had to include more sex and insert messages about gay rights and race at every turn. It was simply annoying and too ham fisted to be enjoyable. I want to learn interesting facts about the period, not about how our modern sentiments should be inserted into the past so anyone now who disagrees is an ignorant bigot and so they were then.
