Georgian Harlots and Whores : Fame, Fashion & Fortune Hardback
by Mike Rendell
Hardback
- Information
Description
This book will look at the phenomenon of celebrity hookers in the eighteenth century -all of them the subject of extraordinary press scrutiny and comment.
They were the fashion icons of the age, and what they wore was copied and put on sale in the high street within days.
Many of them were passed around within the same small circle of aristocratic lovers.
They were the object of constant gossip and whether they were flaunting their fame by taking a box at the opera for the entire season, or by parading through Hyde Park in a phaeton pulled by matching cream ponies, or returning from Paris wearing the very latest fashions, they enjoyed a celebrity status nowadays bestowed on TV reality stars and footballers' wives.
