Sex and the Founding Fathers: The American Quest for a Relatable Past
I got this book thinking it would be an amusing read about the peccadillos of our naughty founding fathers. Just who all was ol' Ben Franklin schtuping, anyway? And it is that, a little bit. But mostly it’s a book about books about the sex lives of historical figures. What the speculation of history books written, say, in the 1950s tells us about the 1950s. [goodreads loss]
