Episode description
We didn't expect a novella from 1741 to be so scandalous, yet in this episode we find ourselves down a rabbit hole of sexual innuendo, prostitution, manipulative women, idiotic and aggressive men, and a whole lot of Mr Booby. An Apology for the Life of Mrs Shamela Andrews by Henry Fielding turns Samuel Richardson's Pamela on its head, and we can't quite believe just how raunchy it gets.
