Well written though a bit too focused

Perkins is the author of other non-fiction books on erotica and as always this one well researched. Each chapter is an essay looking at a particular time period(s) or type of erotic literature and discusses the cultural and historical background against which it was composed. However, it is very very focused on Western Europe and American literature. Pre-modern times are condensed into two chapters and non-European or non-American cultures are only included in these chapters. While I have designed a course which will use this book, it will only use certain chapters because it is too limited in terms of the variety of erotic literature examined.
