Title: Sex and the Church in the Long Eighteenth Century
Description: The Long Eighteenth Century was the Age of Revolutions, including the first sexual revolution. In this era, more tolerant sexual attitudes prevailed and there was a marked increase in the discussion of morality, extra-marital sex, pornography and same-sex relationships in both print and visual culture. William Gibson and Joanne Begiato here consider the ways in which the Church of England dealt with sex and sexuality in this period.
