Erotic innocence : the culture of child molesting

Explores contemporary America's preoccupation with stories about the sexual abuse of children. Claiming that our culture has yet to come to terms with the bungled legacy of Victorian sexuality, this title examines how children and images of youth are idealised, fetishised, and eroticised in everyday culture.
