Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The English have long been the drunken men of Europe and for many centuries observers have marvelled at the capacity of the English to get bevvied, blotto, fuddled, hammered, titillated, plastered or sozzled. Everyone has been involved: drunken clergy were a scandal, and grave politicians, including prime ministers, might have drunk six bottles of port before collapsing under the table. At a masque given by James I in 1606 for the King of Denmark, a noblewoman playing the Queen of Sheba collapsed at the royal guest's feet. George IV collapsed when dancing at a party and vomited on the floor. Pitt the Younger, a six-bottle man, was sick behind the Speaker's chair in the Commons Francis Bacon's hangovers were considered a stimulous to his work, Jeffrey. Bernard woke up one morning to find himself in bed with a jockey a local charwoman.and the story goes on. This meticulously researched and compelling book takes the reader on a heady tour of ale houses and inns, bars and taverns, palaces and clubs, to tell the extraordinary story of the English addiction to the bottle through the lives, and often wild times, of the larger-than-life characters who frequented them. Fergus Linnane is the author of the critically acclaimed London's Underworld: Three Centuries of Vice and Crime. Since retiring as executive editor of The European he has written six books. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A new book and D.J. that is unused and unmarked. 246 pages. With plates. At a time when there were almost no career openings for women a group of intrepid and gifted females scaled the heights of what was literally a man's world - they became bawds. Mrs Berkely was a famous flagellant. Mother Clap - women bawds were often known as Mother - ran male brothels, or Molly Houses. Elizabeth Holland had an immense moated mansion built on Bankside and for thirty years entertained the aristocracy, including royalty. When troops attempted to stop her trade and eject her from the house, she and her girls drove them off. The Georgian bawd Charlotte Hayes held a 'Cyprian Fete' at which gentlemen 'of the highest breeding' first watched athletic young men copulating with nubile whores and then joined in themselves. Fergus Linnane reveals the other side of London's years of pomp and splendour, painting a vivid picture of the bawds, their girls and their clients. Drawing on a rich variety of sources - court records, pamphlets, newspapers, diaries, letters - Madams is fresh and original, offering humour, insight and a very candid view of the sexual behaviour of Londoners through the ages.
