Victorian England:We know what that was supposed to mean — all priggish prudery and "we-are-not-amused" harrumphing. Except now we know it wasn't all that . . . [Catharine Arnold’s] new biography focuses — deliciously — on the women who shared the scandalously plentiful sex life of Queen Victoria's eldest son, the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII.” —USA Today
“Hugely entertaining . . . [Arnold] is a delightful travelling companion through the centuries of the city of sin.” —Jeanette Winterson on The Sexual History of London, The Times (UK)
“Often titillating, sometimes shocking, frequently entertaining . . . The book is a lively affirmation of sexual desire in all its varieties.” —The Observer (UK) on The Sexual History of London
“To pack 2000 years of vice into less than 400 pages is a challenge, but Arnold achieves it admirably.” —The Independent (UK) on The Sexual History of London
“There's plenty to get stuck into here. Arnold arranges her formidable research lucidly.” —Evening Standard (UK) on The Sexual History of London
“Richly detailed . . . an engaging survey of sex and the city.” —The Sunday Times (UK) on The Sexual History of London
