Sex in the Eighteenth century was not simply a pleasure it had profound philosophical and political implications. This book explores those implications, and in particular the links between sexual freedom and liberty in a variety of European and British contexts. Discussing prostitutes and politicians, philosophers and charlatans, confidence tricksters and novelists, Libertine Enlightenment presents a fascinating overview of the sexual dimension of enlightened modernity.ALAN CORKHILL Senior Lecturer in German Studies, University of Queensland, Australia SIMON DURING Lecturer, Johns Hopkins University CHRISTA KNELLWOLF Researcher, Australian National University, Australia IAIN MCCALMAN Director of the Humanities Research Centre, Australian National University, and President of the Australian Academy of the Humanities JONATHAN MEE Margaret Candfield Fellow in English at University College, Oxford PETER OTTO Lecturer, University of Melbourne, Australia NICOLA PARSONS Department of English with Cultural Studies, University of Melbourne, Australia MARC SERGE RIVIRE Professor of French, University of Limerick, Ireland CHANTAL THOMAS Directrice de Recherche, Conseil National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Lyons, France PATRICK WALD LASOWSKI Universite de Paris 8 (Vincennes-Saint-Denis) KATHLEEN WILSON Professor of History, State University of New York, Stony Brook, USA
