Schooling Sex by James Grantham Turner
Libertine Literature and Erotic Education in Italy, France and England, 1534–1685
Examines how erotic texts from Renaissance Italy through seventeenth-century France and England operated as informal curricula in sexual knowledge, mapping their production, translation, and use in classrooms and salons alongside humanist pedagogy, medical theory, and censorship. It argues that libertine writing both reflected and shaped norms of desire, gender, and power, blurring instruction and arousal, and traces networks of printers, teachers, and readers—from Aretino to Rochester—to show how print culture institutionalized erotic education in early modern Europe.
