Review
"Fascinating...a fiercely intelligent and provocative collection thatprovides new insights into both the origins of modern pornographyand the dynamics of cultural modernity." Michiko Kakutani , New York Times

The Invention of Pornography, a groundbreaking collection of critical essays, traces the history and uses of pornography in early modern Europe, offering for the first time the historical perspective crucial to understanding current controversies in politics and the arts.
