Harris's List of the Covent Garden Ladies
Harris's List of the Covent Garden Ladies | Hallie Rubenhold
2 posts | 2 to read
If you ever wondered what Jane Austen's Mr Darcy and his fellows got up to on their numerous trips to London, here is the book they would certainly have carried around ... HARRIS'S LIST OF COVENT GARDEN LADIES was a bestseller in the Eighteenth Century, shifting 250,000 copoies in an age before mass consumerism. A 'guide book' published annually at Christmas, it detailed the names, attributes and 'specialities' of the capital's prostitutes. During its heyday (1759 -95) HARRIS'S LIST was the essential accessory for any serious gentleman of pleasure. Hallie Rubenhold has collected the funniest, rudest and most bizarre entries penned by Jack Harris, Pimp-General-of-all-England, into this fascinating and mischievous collection.

#bookhaul I ordered the Harris's List for Covent Garden Ladies after finishing the excellent first season of Harlots (❤️❤️❤️), and I ran downtown to Boswell Books to pick up my signed Sedaris (next post). Eleanor Oliphant was a spontaneous checkout purchase. Plus, I didn't want to wait for a library hold for 3 months. I would have gotten a couple more but was parked in a no-parking zone and had to hurry!

saresmoore Success! 🙌😁 7y
BookishBeth We are complete book twins! I'm reading both Theft by Finding and Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. ❤️🤓 7y
LeahBergen I've been meaning to order Harris's, too. 👍🏼 (edited) 7y

LauraBrook @saresmoore I was so nervous the whole time I was parked there (literally 3 minutes) that I was going to get yelled at or ticketed. Just the thought of getting in trouble makes me panic-sweat. @BookishBeth Hah, well, you've got great taste! 🤓 @LeahBergen I thought of you right away, and I'm surprised you don't already have it! There seem to be several different editions of this by the same author, I couldn't figure it out. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y
LauraBrook @Suet624 I'm hoping to start her this weekend! 👍🏼 7y
saresmoore @LauraBrook Bahahahaha! Oh, I'm not laughing at your pain, I'm commiserating. I seriously cannot understand people who are okay with rule breaking! (And I've had a prescription anti-perspirant for panic sweat. 😝) 7y

Since the season premier of harlots, I'm at a standstill if I should get this book or not. Pretty pricey, but a lot of reviews have said it's a great read. What are ya'lls thought??

Oftencantdecide I haven't read it, but I read most of this book on a similar subject and found it really interesting.
