Description

Explore the shifting social landscape of the nineteenth century with The Magdalenes: Prostitution in the Nineteenth Century. Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Women's History, this academic work examines the discursive explosion surrounding sex and sexual behavior during this era. Linda Mahood traces how historical methods of regulation changed as the century progressed. Rather than relying on medieval punishments like whipping or branding, society moved toward new ways of policing and regulating behavior. By building on the scholarly foundations of Foucault, Walkowitz, and Mort, this book analyzes the transition from punishing the body to addressing the mind. This text provides a detailed look at the emerging approaches to prostitution and the social controls that defined the period.
