Taking us by way of such authors and books as Aristophanes's "Lysistrata", The Bible, Ovid's "The Act of Love", Petronius, Apuleius, "The Exeter Book" - the first recorded pornography in English - Boccacio and Chaucer, the great Elizabethans, through the classical, medieval and renaissance worlds, Mr. Loth shows how at no time before the seventeenth century did the authorities anywhere - least of all the Catholic Church - attempt to ban pornography as such. ***Then came what in Mr. Loth's view was the fateful year of 1642 when the English Puritans not only closed the theatres but banned the publication of all "light literature". It was at this moment that "The serpent of shame entered the garden of sex". The reaction after the Restoration brought, with Dryden, Congreve and Rochester, the obscene joke and allusion back into fullest flavour. But it was pornography with a difference, pornography too often with a leer. ***And so it was to continue. Though the first successful prosecution for obscenity took place in 1728, public opinion was on the whole still tolerant of the pornographic, making of "Fanny Hill, or Memoirs of a Lady of Pleasure" one of the greatest best sellers of all time. But in the nineteenth century all that was changed. This was the age of Dr. Bowdler, of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, and of parallel attitudes in America. But, as Mr. Loth convincingly shows, it was also an age which saw a greater output of pornographic literature - mostly of a worthless nature - than had ever been known before. Only now it had to be published and bought clandestinely. ***It is indeed the theme of this book that pornography free and unfettered is a natural adjunct of human nature. It is neither possible nor desirable to try to suppress it. The only result is to debase its nature and to allow unscrupulous men and women to make fortunes out of it. Mr. Loth ends his book with a plea for the abandonment of all forms of censorship of literature and for allowing public opinion and taste to be the sole arbiters of what should and should not be published.' (Quote taken from the inside flaps of the dustwrapper). ***A nice first edition copy of this interesting work which explores pornography in literature. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
