Description:
Vigarello (U. of Paris-V, France) examines the history of attitudes toward sexual violence, as these can be discovered in laws, police and news accounts, scientific writing, and literature of the time. The volume covers four centuries, yet conveys clearly the sensibility of the eras and the different attitudes they display, with many passages from primary sources used for illustration. Birrell's translation is effective and unimposing.
