Libertine London delves into the intimate lives of women during the long eighteenth century, spanning from 1680 to 1830. It explores the diverse experiences of women, including mistresses, adulteresses, and those involved in the sex trade. Through meticulous research, Julie Peakman uncovers the multifaceted lives of these women within brothels, on stage, and even behind bars. Drawing on court transcripts, asylum records, magazines, pamphlets, satires, songs, theatre plays, and erotica, we gain insight into the harsh treatment endured by women who engaged in sexual activities outside of marriage. Peakman challenges the traditional perception of the bawdy eighteenth century, revealing a more sordid side where women were left distressed, ostracized, and vilified for their sexual behavior.
