FOUCAULT MICHEL THE HISTORY OF SEXUALITY 1

'A brilliant display of fireworks  attacking the widespread and banal notion that "in the
beginning" sexual activity was guilt-free and delicious  being repressed and blighted only by
the gloom of Victorianism' Spectator   We talk about sex more and more  but are we more
liberated? The first part of Michel Foucault's landmark account of our evolving attitudes in
the west shows how the nineteenth century  far from suppressing sexuality  led to an explosion
of discussion about sex as a separate sphere of life for study and examination. As a result  he
argues  we are making a science of sex which is devoted to the analysis of desire rather than
the increase of pleasure.   'A wealth of insights  original conceptualizations and provocative
ideas' The Times Literary Supplement
