gouverneur morris

Richard Brookhiser has been writing about American politics for half a century, though he has refreshed himself by writing a dozen books about the founding period, beginning with Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington,  with additional books on Gouverneur Morris, James Madison, the Adamses, Alexander Hamilton, and Abraham Lincoln, "the Founders' Son." We talk with him about the political ideas of the founding generation, and how they were viewed in their day-- his next book is on the artist Jonathan Trumbull—and ours.

Founding Daddy Gouverneur Morris is coming for (and on) your wife.

Part II of II. Victorian brothels in Philadelphia and London are discussed within a wider secret underground world of sensually themed bordellos, sporting guides, brothel-menus for prices and services, and clandestine fetish communities. Photography, homosexuality, the connection of sex-work and the theater industry (including The Chestnut Street Theater in Philadelphia); and moral and legal issues are discussed through a lense of modernity and historiography. Joe Wojie and Britnee Smith are joined by Historians Ted Sisco and Sara McDonall. Explicit language. Mature-audiences. grimphilly.com/podcast for more.
