Exhibitionism, pornography, and deception all have their place here."-Library Journal"An appealing wealth of evidence of what trials can reveal about the boundaries of men's roles around the turn of the century."-Kirkus Reviews"It is difficult to imagine a better guide to the most notorious scandals of our great-grandparents' day."-Graham Rosenstock, Lam
