Synopsis
Arthur Munby, barrister and published poet, met Hannah Cullwick, Shropshire scullery maid, on London`s Oxford Street in 1854. They had in common a sexual obsession: Munby adored watching Hannah `in her dirt` and she responded to him with a literally slavish devotion. Amply documented in their letters and diaries, this is the compelling tale of a clandestine love affair that was to last for over fifty years. `Shadowy figures at the edge of Victorian life, they might almost have stepped out of a Dickens plot.` - Claire Tomalin, Evening Standard `Arthur and Hannah have been lucky with their biographer.... Diane Atkinson has a generous appreciation of all the nuances and paradoxes of their bizarre relationship.` - Mail on Sunday `In the letters and diaries of Hannah Cullwick and Arthur Munby, Diane Atkinson has discovered a gem of a story.... Love & Dirt successfully presents an important historical document in a highly readable, accessible form.... a fascinating insight into aspects of Victorian sexuality.` - Sunday Independent
