Summary
This book is a revealing investigation into the diverse history of Britain's most stunning sexually-inspired landscapes and monuments. From Stonehenge and Avebury to eighteenth century pleasure gardens, some surprising Victorian outbreaks and the twentieth century's landscapes of desire, Cathy Tuck shows how the natural cycle of fertility has been a central preoccupation in human monuments, with results that are sometimes awe- inspiring, sometimes shocking and often amusing.
