EBOOK House in Gross Disorder Sex, Law, and the 2nd Earl of Castlehaven
Opis
In May, 1631, the 2nd Earl of Castlehaven was executed for abetting the rape of his wife and for sodomitical relations with his servants. A fantastic exploration into a house of gross disorder, the trial revolved around myriad sexual couplings across gender and class, forced rape and public adultery, and always the pursuit of property and title. A scandal worthy of today's tabloids, Herrup's investigative history is both a whodunit and an expose on 17-century Britain's changing sexual and political mores.
