Book excerpt: Sex in the Eighteenth-century was not simply a pleasure; it had profound philosophical and political implications.

Discussing prostitutes and politicians, philosophers and charlatans, confidence tricksters and novelists, Libertine Enlightenment presents a fascinating overview of the sexual dimension of enlightened modernity.
