Beschreibung:
With an eclectic cast of royal mistresses, gay charioteers, medieval transvestites, lonely goat lovers, prostitutes of all stripes, and London rent boys, this is a highly evocative and sweeping exploration of sexual behaviour and the law over the last 4,000 years. 'Fascinating and gruesomely compelling' "Mail On Sunday"
