This book is an analysis of prostitution in Cambridge in the Victorian period based on different social and cultural discourses as well as on archival materials concerning institutions devoted to the control and regulation of promiscuity and venereal disease.
Maria Isabel Romero Ruiz (MA University of Southampton, PhD University of Granada) is currently a Lecturer in Social History and Cultural Studies at the University of M疝aga (Spain). She has specialised in the social and cultural history of deviant women and the history of sexuality in Victorian England, although her research interests have since expanded to contemporary gender and sexual identity issues and postcolonialism in Neo-Victorian fiction. Her publications include numerous chapters of books and articles in journals, and she has edited and coedited several international volumes. She is also the author of the monograph The London Lock Hospital in the Nineteenth Century: Gender, Sexuality and Social Reform (Peter Lang, 2014). Her most recent publication is the co-edition Cultural Representations of Gender Vulnerability and Resistance: A Mediterranean Approach to the Anglosphere (2022).
