A1 Romero-Ruiz, María Isabel
K1 Prostitución - Cambridge - S. XIX
AB This book makes an analysis of prostitution in Cambridge in the Victorian periodbased on different social and cultural discourses as well as on archival materialsconcerning institutions devoted to the control and regulation of promiscuityand venereal disease. Among them were the Cambridge Union Workhouse, theCambridge Female Refuge, the Spinning House (Cambridge University FemalePrison) or the town and county gaols. Also, data from the census and localand state regulations are of great relevance in the approach to the study of the“Great Social Evil” and its consequences for Victorian Cambridge. The city wasdivided into “town and gown” at the time, with the University having its powerand regulation over all its premises through the Vice-Chancellor’s Court and itssystem of proctors, while the town council regulated the areas belonging to thecity itself through the police. Therefore, University authorities, evangelicals and themiddle-class joined their efforts to put an end to immorality, building Cambridge’sarchitecture of containment of sexual deviance.
