This volume concerns itself with arrival of mass pornography at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. This volume details the rise of cheap, readily available, and much maligned materials such as postcards, pamphlets, and photographs. Mass pornography expanded the market to include women, children, the poor, and people of colour in Great Britain and across the British Empire. The volume documents imperial and international attempts to curtail the spread of pornography that took place between the 1880s and 1914 and provides examples of who suffered as a result.
Lisa Z. Sigel is Professor of History at DePaul University, Chicago. She has a well-established publication record in the histories of pornography and sexuality.
