Books by Emily Brand

A thrilling family story of aristocratic decadence and decline at the heart of 18th century British empire.

The business of sex was a significant aspect of urban culture in Georgian England, and a visible one. This book explores what is was like to run, work in, and frequent these establishments, which ranged from filthy hovels and country inns to grand townhouse apartments. It draws from newspaper reports, political debate and bawdy pamphlets.
