A Very British Romance with Lucy Worsley

SINOPSIS

How romance became racier following the First World War, as Marie Stopes encouraged husbands and wives to explore their sexual desires, and Edith Maude Hull's controversial novel The Sheik was published. Couples were allowed to see each other without a chaperone, while the dark environment of the cinema became a mainstay for young lovers, although old-fashioned romance would eventually rise again, as the novels of Barbara Cartland took readers back to a more innocent age. Last in the series.
