Set against the backdrop of the American Revolution, the duchess's state trial for bigamy and Foote's criminal trial for attempted sodomy engrossed the attention of Londoners, including George III, Parliament, and the nobility. Sex, Scandal, and Celebrity offers specialists and general readers a meticulously researched and dramatic narrative that relates the fortunes and misfortunes of its protagonists and exposes the social and legal hypocrisies about love, sex, and marriage in the age of George III. 410 0$aThe New Middle Ages,$x2945-5944 606 $aSex 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aLiterature 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y18th century 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aMedieval Literature 606 $aLiterature 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aEighteenth-Century Literature 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 14$aGender Studies. 615 24$aMedieval Literature. 615 24$aLiterature. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aEighteenth-Century Literature. 676 $a364.1/83092 700 $aKinservik$b Matthew J.$f1967-$01792179 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970098103321 996 $aSex, Scandal, and Celebrity in Late Eighteenth-Century England$94330385 997 $aUNINA
