Sex and the British: A Twentieth-century History Paul Ferris
As a wide-ranging survey of British attitudes to scandal and sexual behaviour in this century, this book covers the Edwardian era through World War I and the beginning of contraception, through the suffragettes and the uproar over Lady Chatterley's Lover. The book uses a number of case studies to demonstrate the peculiar British mixture of hypocrisy and prurient interest in sexual scandals.
