Schooling Sex: Libertine Literature and Erotic Education in Italy, France, and England 1534-1685

Schooling Sex is the first full history of early modern libertine literature and its reception, from Aretino and Tullia d'Aragona in 16th-century Italy to Pepys, Rochester, and Behn in late 17th-century England.

James Turner explores the idea of sexual education, from the simple instructional
dialogue to the advanced experiments of the philosophical libertine, analyzing the hard-core curriculum that defined sexuality centuries before the Marquis de Sade.
