For too long historians have imposed on the literature a restricted narrative of Victorian attitudes to prostitution. Instead, Attwood argues for a multifaceted, many-layered representation amongst contemporary Victorian observers, demonstrated using political, medical, feminist, literary and pornographic sources.
