A House in Gross Disorder
A House in Gross Disorder: Sex, Law, and the 2nd Earl of Castlehaven | Cynthia B. Herrup
3 posts | 1 read
In an examination of a sex scandal of 17th-century England, Herrup presents a strikingly new interpretation of the case of the 2nd Earl of Castlehaven and of the sexual and social anxieties it cast into such bold relief. This was a case that brought disgrace to the ruling class and ended with the beheading of the earl. 8 halftones.

This was interesting in places but a bit dry. However I think it would have helped with one of my BA English Lit modules, and may be of interest to my current #lmpbc group, especially after you've read Bedlam by Paul Chambers. @Mrs_B @Powered_By_Plants @veritysalter

I'd recommend a #borrownotbuy though 😂
