Description

In Sexual Revolution in Early America, Richard Godbeer boldly overturns conventional wisdom about the sexual values and customs of colonial Americans. Drawing on exhaustive research into diaries, letters, legal records, and official documents, Godbeer's absorbing narrative ranges from New England to the Caribbean and uncovers a persistent struggle between the moral authorities and the widespread expression of popular customs and individual urges. He concludes by detailing the fundamental shift in sexual culture during the eighteenth century toward the acceptance of a more individualistic concept of sexual desire and fulfillment.
