Description

Explore a rare collection of British libertine literature with When Flesh Becomes Word. Published by Oxford University Press, this anthology gathers nine distinct examples of writing from before 1750. This volume provides access to previously unavailable works, including the famous "whore dialogues" such as The School of Venus (1680), Venus in the Cloister (1725), and A Dialogue Between a Married Lady and a Maid (1740). These dramatic conversations between experienced women and inexperienced maids offer a unique look at the era's literature. By combining elements of sex education, medical folklore, and eroticism, these texts represent a proto-pornographic form that is essential for understanding the literary landscape of the early eighteenth century.
